Overview
Symptoms of pseudomyxoma peritonei include abdominal pain, bloating, abdominal distention, weight changes, and infertility.
History
Symptoms
Symptoms of pseudomyxoma peritonei may include:[1][2]
- Abdominal or pelvic pain
- Bloating
- Abdominal distension
- Weight change
- Infertility
- In advanced disease, increased abdominal girth and complaints of abdominal pain related to intestinal obstruction are the most presenting symptom seen in 30-50% of the pseudomyxoma peritonei patients as a result of disseminated mucinous tumor and ascites classically presenting at laparotomy with jelly belly.
- In less advanced disease, local symptoms are seen in 50-80% of pseudomyxoma peritonei patients without jelly belly ascites and might correspond to the site of the primary tumor, such as appendicitis-like symptoms in 25% of cases, or the location of the peritoneal implants, including lower abdominal pain, pelvic pressure and gynecological complaints in females due to the ovarian deposits of the mucinous tumor in 20-30% of the patients.
- Pseudomyxoma peritonei cases presenting with an ulcerated skin fistula on the right flank or a subcutaneous non tender umbilical nodule have also been reported.
