title: Pseudomyxoma peritonei and mucinous pyometral fluid arising from an ovarian borderline mucinous tumor: case report.
abstract: An extremely rare case of a pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) and mucinous pyometral fluid, possibly arising from an ovarian borderline mucinous tumor is reported. A 68-year-old Japanese patient received an expolatory laparatomy under a working diagnosis of a PMP, left ovarian cystic tumor and an umbilical hernia. Surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy induced a 15-month disease-free condition.
