[Pseudomyxoma peritonei--a case report].
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare condition consisting of mucinous ascites, most commonly arising from mucinous tumors of the appendix and occasionally from the ovary. Ronnett et al. have suggested a classification based on tumor pathology where they place all pseudomyxoma peritonei in three groups in order of decreasing prognosis: disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM), peritoneal mucinous carcinoma with intermediate or discordant features (PMCA) and peritoneal mucinous carcinoma (PMCA). Treatments are now standardized as a combination of cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
