title: Pseudomyxoma peritonei with progressive calcifications: CT findings.
abstract: Development of abdominal calcifications due to pseudomyxoma peritonei is rare. The authors present three cases whereby computed tomographic (CT) studies during or after chemotherapy for pseudomyxoma peritonei demonstrated development and progression of punctate calcifications in the abdomen. The clinical and CT findings of these cases are presented together with a brief review of the pertinent literature.
