    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) presents as a gelatinous ascites, often mimicking widely metastatic intra-abdominal cancer.
    • It originates from mucinous neoplasms, typically appendiceal.
    • PMP is frequently misdiagnosed due to its resemblance to other advanced abdominal malignancies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of considering pseudomyxoma peritonei in cases of unexplained malignant-appearing abdominal disease.
    • To discuss the therapeutic approaches and outcomes for pseudomyxoma peritonei.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges of PMP.
    • Analysis of surgical management strategies, including palliative and curative interventions.
    • Discussion of organ-specific surgical considerations.
    Keywords:
    MYXOMAPERITONEUM

    Main Results:

    • Pseudomyxoma peritonei is often not overtly malignant, despite its aggressive appearance.
    • Surgical treatment provides palliative relief in many instances.
    • Curative surgical outcomes are achievable in a subset of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Pseudomyxoma peritonei requires high clinical suspicion due to its potential to mimic advanced cancers.
    • Surgical management, tailored to the individual, is the cornerstone of treatment.
    • Appendectomy in males and appendectomy with oophorectomy in females form the basis of surgical therapy.
