Primary tumors of the ovary and colon associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei.
The patient presented had primary tumors of the ovary and colon in association with pseudomyxoma peritonei. Since pseudomyxoma peritonei has been associated with mucin-producing tumor of the genital and gastrointestinal tract, a thorough evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract should be performed in patients thought to have pseudomyxoma peritonei secondary to an ovarian neoplasm.
