The median age of diagnosis for pseudomyxoma peritonei is 50 years old,it is usually found incidentally in patients undergoing abdominal surgery or imaging for other medical conditions. Due to its non-specific symptoms, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. The clinical presentation of the disease is dependent on the progression of the disease. Tumors that originate in appendix typically presents with appendicitis-like symptoms or a pelvic mass due to mucinous deposits and compression on adjacent organs. More advanced disease can present with abdominal distension, bowel obstruction, and ascites. The classic sign termed “jelly belly” is an increase in abdominal girth caused by an accumulation of gelatinous ascites.<ref name="pmid17511043">{{cite journal |vauthors=Dixit A, Robertson JH, Mudan SS, Akle C |title=Appendiceal mucocoeles and pseudomyxoma peritonei |journal=World J.

Overview

Symptoms of pseudomyxoma peritonei include abdominal pain, bloating, abdominal distention, weight changes, and infertility.

History

The median age of diagnosis for pseudomyxoma peritonei is 50 years of age. It is usually found incidentally in patients undergoing abdominal surgery or imaging for other medical conditions, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease due to non specific symptoms of pseudomyxoma peritonei. The clinical presentation of the disease is dependent on the progression of the disease, tumors with appendiceal origin typically presents with appendicitis-like symptoms or if there is ovarian origin, it may present as a pelvic mass due to its compression impact on internal organs. More advanced disease may present with abdominal distension, bowel obstruction, and ascites.[1][2][3]
