Overview
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is an uncommon tumor known for its production of mucus in the abdominal cavity.[1] The tumor is not harmful by itself, but the mucus has no place to go inside the abdominal cavity. If left untreated, it will eventually build up to the point where it compresses vital structures: the colon, the liver, kidneys, etc.
