Overview
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a very rare tumor characterized by the presence of abundant mucus in the abdominal cavity, it is more common in female and usually arises from an appendiceal tumor, but it can originate from ovary or colon as well. It has an incident rate of 0.1 cases per 100,000 people per year.
