Overview
Abdominal ultrasound scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei. Finding on ultrasound scan suggestive of pseudomyxoma peritonei are echogenic peritoneal masses or ascites with echogenic particles which do not move.
Ultrasound
On abdominal ultrasound, pseudomyxoma peritonei is characterized by:[1]
- Echogenic peritoneal masses or ascites with echogenic particles which (unlike other forms of particulate ascites such as haemoperitoneum or pus in the peritoneum) do not move
- The small bowel loops displaced medially
- May show scalloping of the liver, spleen, and at times other organs
