Overview

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is an uncommon tumor known for its production of abundant mucinous tumor spreading in the peritoneal cavity, the tumor origin is mainly appendiceal neoplasm, however it may arise from ovarian or colon cancer as well. The mainstay of therapy is cytoreduction surgery with chemotherapy infusion. On 1884, Werth described the term pseudomyxoma peritonei and its association with the ovarian mucinous tumor.

On 1841, Carl F. Rokitansky described the first case of pseudomyxoma peritonei.^[1]
On 1901, Frankel reported the first case of appendiceal tumor.^[2]
