[Conservative treatment of pseudomyxoma peritonei].
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a clinical entity characterized by gelatinous ascites. It is most often due to a mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix or ovary. These patients die frequently of bowel obstruction after multiple surgical procedures. A case of pseudomyxoma peritonei treated successfully with intraabdominal infusion of a 2.5% solution of dextrose is reported.
