Overview
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare condition consisting of intraperitoneal mucinous tumors and ascites, most commonly arises from mucinous tumors of the appendix and less commonly from ovary and colon. Pseudomyxoma peritonei symptoms include abdominal distention, bloating, hernia, infertility. It is a very uncommon tumor with an incident of 0.1 people per 100,000 per year prevalence, slightly more common in female wiht median age of 50 years old at the time of diagnosis. Prognosis is very optimal and good in general. It is a slowly progressive disease process with a large amount of mucus containing occasional epithelial cells. PMP is histologically classified into disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM), peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA).
Medical Therapy
Mainstay of treatment for pseudomyxoma peritonei is cytoreductive surgery combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy with mitomycin at 42°C.[1][2]
