    Computed tomography and sonography evaluated patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei. Key findings like liver scalloping and ascites septations aided diagnosis in most cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare condition characterized by mucinous ascites.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management.

    Observation:

    • Computed tomography (CT) was the primary imaging modality used.
    • Sonography was employed in a subset of patients.
    • The study focused on evaluating imaging findings suggestive of the disease.

    Findings:

    • Liver scalloping was observed in multiple patients.
    • Ascites septations were another significant diagnostic clue.
    • These findings aided in diagnosing pseudomyxoma peritonei in three out of four evaluated cases.

    Implications:
