[Pseudomyxoma extraperitonei. Report of 3 cases].
The authors report three additional cases of pseudomyxoma extraperitonei and describe the modalities of occurrence and evolution. Pseudomyxoma extraperitonei arises from spontaneous or accidental implantation of mucosal cells of the primary site. This inoculation is accompanied by the modification of glandular cells which survive by adapting themselves to the interstitial connective tissue environment, raising thus the ability of extensive involvement and tumor-like invasive behavior.
