Pseudomyxoma peritonei is characterized by diffuse collections of gelatinous flux resulting from implantation of malignant tumors or irritation from ruptured benign cysts. We report a patient with pseudomyxoma peritonei caused by an occult primary adenocarcinoma, who had both pleural and hepatic metastases.
