A patient with malignant pseudomyxoma peritonei underwent a palliative surgical resection and intraperitoneal lavage with 5% dextrose. One hundred and twenty-five mg of cisplatin resolved in 1,500 ml saline was infused into the peritoneal cavity through the reservoir, and the patient was treated
OBJECTIVE
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare disease characterized by diffuse intraperitoneal mucinous tumor and massive mucinous ascites. The mainstay of treatment is surgery in combination with adjuvant therapy.
METHODS
From 1995 to 2002, 8 patients with pathologically confirmed pseudomyxoma
OBJECTIVE
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare disease characterized by a complete redistribution of mucin within the peritoneal cavity. It can be classified into three histologic groups: disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis, peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis, and an intermediate group. The aim of
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare disease characterized by the presence of a large mucin component within the abdomen. Recent pathological and genetic advances indicate that they originate from an appendiceal adenoma or adenocarcinoma. Their prognostic is worse than ovarian border-line mucinous
Three patients of pseudomyxoma peritonei who were diagnozed by transumbilical endoscopic surgery (TUES) were reviewed retrospectively from September 2014 to November 2014. Three cases of ascites patients underwent TUES were diagnozed as pseudomyxoma peritonei. All operations were successful. No open
A 59-year-old man was admitted to our department due to a fever of unknown origin. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a large cystic mass in the lower abdomen and a massive amount of abdominal fluid. A laparotomy was performed under a diagnosis of panperitonitis. Diffuse
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an uncommon condition characterized by diffuse mucinous material in the abdomen and pelvis, generally arising from a perforated epithelial neoplasm. Typically, the disease presents as suspected acute appendicitis, ovarian mass, abdominal distension, or BACKGROUND
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a disease characterized by an intraperitoneal adenomucinous tumor cell disemination, being cecal appendix the most common etiology.
OBJECTIVE
To report a surgeon's group experience and a detailed up to date literature review.

1. A 74 year old woman with a
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare, progressive disease of unknown origin. The incidence is estimated at about 1-2/100,000,000 per year. The primary tumor site is usually discovered in the appendix or- in case of women--in ovaries, appearing as tumors of low malignancy. Making an accurate
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare cancer commonly originating from appendiceal neoplasms that presents with mucinous tumor spread in the peritoneal cavity. Patients with PMP are treated with curative intent by cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
BACKGROUND
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is derived mostly from the rupture of an appendiceal cystic tumor and produces a large quantity of mucinous substance. Though its malignancy level is low, radical resection is difficult and its prognosis is poor. In some institutes in European countries and the
OBJECTIVE
To analyze a large series of patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) treated with cytoreductive surgery associated with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC) in 18 French-speaking centers.
METHODS
From March 1993 to December 2007, 301 patients with diffuse PMP were treated by
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare progressive disease. Patients commonly present with a picture of acute appendicitis or with increasing abdominal girth. We present a case of a 71 year old man who presented with right iliac fossa pain, fever and vomiting. His abdominal examination revealed right
