Pseudomyxoma peritonei: extraperitoneal spread to the pleural cavity and lung.
Abdominal and pelvic recurrence of pseudomyxoma peritonei after the surgery is occasionally seen but extraperitoneal spread and hematogeneous metastases are rare. This case of pseudomyxoma peritonei provides interesting radiologic findings of extraperitoneal spread, which occurred after an extremely long interval from initial diagnosis.
