RESUMO
Papillary serous carcinoma with low malignant potential, similar to those described in the ovary, can also originate in the peritoneum. Characteristically they show peritoneal spread without involvement of the ovary and, if present, it corresponds to a superficial implant similar to those seen in the rest of the peritoneal cavity. Histologically they correspond to a low malignant potential tumor; they are slow growing and have good prognosis. They are common in young women, usually they present few symptoms and are frequently discovered during other surgical procedures. The treatment is surgical and it can be conservative in cases of women who want to preserve their fertility, without coadjuvant therapy. We report a 34 years old woman with a primary peritoneal serous carcinoma with low malignant potential and discuss its management.

We report 10 patients with congenital deficiencies of the natural anticoagulant proteins S, C and antithrombin III. Thirteen of a total of 30 pregnancies were managed at the perinatal branch of our department. We discuss the mechanism of action of these proteins and their role in thrombotic events. We analyze the most frequent thrombotic complications and we discuss the general guidelines for the investigation of a patient with a suspected congenital thrombophilia with special regard to its management during pregnancy, delivery and perinatal outcome.
