Abstract
Mucinous ovarian cancer occurs sporadically, with a frequency of approximately 3–5% among all subtypes of ovarian cancer. Extreme leukocytosis >40,000 and 50,000 has been described in most solid tumors and is associated with a poor prognosis, although there is a lack of literal data of its occurrence after cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC in the treatment of advanced mucinous ovarian cancer. There is higher risk of the occurrence of cholecystitis in oncology patients compared to the general population, although there is no formal evidence for this, and the association with ovarian cancer is accompanied by a relative risk of 1.38. Hypercalcemia-hyperleukocytosis is a syndrome associated with head and neck cancers, although, to our knowledge, it has not been described in mucinous ovarian cancer, especially after cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC.
