Overview
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is rare clinical entity characterized by the presence of abundant mucus in intraperitoneal cavities, mesentery, omentum. The tumor arises mostly from primary appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. CT of abdomen and MRI are most useful imaging studies, but other imaging tools such as PET scan can be used.
Other Imaging Findings
Other imaging studies such as PET scan may be used, preoperative 18F-FDG PET scan may be helpful to detect tumor grade and whether cytoreduction surgery is completed or not.[1]
