A case of bowel perforation caused by a catheter used for intraperitoneal chemotherapy is reported. A 46-year-old woman underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, total hysterectomy and infracolic omentectomy for treatment of stage II c endometrioid carcinoma of ovary. Subsequently, the patient was treated with intraperitoneal administration of CBDCA through Port-A-Cath as well as intravenous CPA infusion every 5-6 weeks. Ten days after the 5th course of chemotherapy, she complained of low abdominal pain and fever of 37.9 degrees C, which resolved during a 6-day hospital stay, although her appetite remained poor. In the 6th course, CBDCA was administrated intravenously, because the intraperitoneal catheter became obstructed. Secondary cytoreductive laparotomy, which was performed 14 months after the primary surgery, revealed that the catheter of Port-A-Cath had penetrated the descending colon. Although intraabdominal injury by the catheter may be rare, it should be noted as one of complications when a patient is treated with intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
