Abstract

OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to review 4 years' experience of peritoneal inclusion cysts at Kangnam St. Mary's Hospital. METHODS: A retrospective study of 50 cases of peritoneal inclusion cyst between April 1, 1999 and June 30, 2003 was carried out and then clinical feature, preoperative diagnostic findings, operative findings and recurrence were compared with previous reports. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 40.2 years old and most of them were premenopausal. The majority (94%) of patients had history of laparotomy and most (70.2%) of them had history of total hysterectomy. The values of tumor makers such as CA125 and CA19-9 were normal in most of the patients. The peritoneal inclusion cysts usually generate on the left side of the pelvic cavity, size of them were often (59.6%) 5 to 10 cm and they usually (65.4%) have septum in ultrasonographic findings. They probably had pelvic adhesion or ovarian cyst with them in operative findings. Most of the recurrence occurred after only adhesiolysis was done. CONCLUSION: Because peritoneal inclusion cyst is benign and uncommon disease, its preoperative diagnosis rate was low. In our experience of 50 cases of peritoneal inclusion cyst, most of the patients have history of laparotomy and were premenopausal. When the ultrasonographic findings of cyst are 5 cm to 10 cm in size and have septum, they are likely to be peritoneal inclusion cyst. Their recurrence might be more common when adhesiolysis only was performed.
