Peritoneum Cancer can cause two types of problems:
-the formation of ascites (filling the cavity of the abdomen by fluid in abnormally large quantities). Any healthy person has a small amount of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, which facilitates the sliding of loops of the small intestine. This fluid is produced on a continuous basis, especially in the peritoneum of the small intestine, and is continually reabsorbed, mainly by the peritoneum below the diaphragm (breathing muscle between the chest cavity and abdominal cavity) and the peritoneum of épiploon (apron of fat that depends on the stomach and covers the intestines. In cancer of the peritoneum, there may be an imbalance between production and absorption of liquid, such as by blocking the absorption in homes tumor, which causes the appearance of ascites. The patient remarked that it is rapidly gaining weight and the stomach becomes distended and tense.
-obstruction (difficult on passaging of intestinal contents). Households tumor can paste the intestinal loops between them and the wall of the abdomen. The decline joining the mobility of the intestine and cause bends and hairpin turns. Households tumor outside the intestine may compress the bowel wall and complicate the transition. An occlusion can manifest itself by the onset of cramps and vomiting, absence of passage of gas and stools, and bloating of the abdomen.
