Abstract:
We provide an initial description of laparoscopic diagnosis and management of urachal mucinous borderline tumor associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei. Treatment for pseudomyxoma peritonei remains controversial, with continually evolving surgical procedures; however, we describe our experience and the potential benefits of a laparoscopic approach for pseudomyxoma peritonei.
