title: A rare cause of ascites: pseudomyxoma peritonei and a review of the literature.
abstract: Pseudomyxoma peritonei is rare. The rarity is highlighted by the lack of published evidence regarding management. The latest treatments have altered the prognosis of a once incurable disease. This report serves to both raise awareness and critically appraise the literature regarding the latest management.
