Peritonitis Fibroplastica Incapsulata with Superadded Post-operative Starch Powder Peritonitis

Abstract

Kaufman, M., Gloor, F., Maurer, W. & Miller, G. Peritonitis fibroplastiea ineapsulata with superadded post-operative starch powder peritonitis. Scand. J. Gastroent. 1975, 10, 801-804.

Peritonitis fibroplastiea ineapsulata is not generally accepted as a distinct syndrome. However, characteristic pathological alterations can be identified at laparotomy and by histological examinations. The aetiology of the disease is unknown. In the case reported a second disease arose, i.e. the peritoneal reaction to corn starch powder in the course of the surgical treatment of the peritonitis fibroplastiea.

Key-words::

• Chronic obstruction of the small intestine
• fibroplastic proliferation after laparotomy
• granulomatous peritonitis due to starch glove powder
• peritonitis fibroplastica incapsulata
