title: Primary tumors of the ovary and colon associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei.
abstract: 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.
