[Peritoneal pseudomyxoma with pleural metastases. A case report].
The authors report a case of a 69 year old man with a peritoneal pseudo-myxoma probably secondary to a mucocele of the appendix and complicated by pleural metastases which were nodular, unilateral and asymptomatic. These were discovered on computerised tomography during examination for the recurrence of the peritoneal disease. A study of the histology of the pleural fragments obtained by thoracotomy showed the presence of lesions which were identical to those found in the peritoneal masses.
