Abstract

Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a very effective treatment combination in selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. This protocol has good long-term results in diseases such as pseudomyxoma peritonei and peritoneal mesothelioma. There are also studies that show the benefits of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in ovarian epithelial tumors and peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancers. However mortality and morbidity rates of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy are high. In this report, we presented a very rare case, skin necrosis that occured after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
