Abstract
- Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a poorly understood condition characterized by gelatinous, mucinous implants, and often massive gelatinous ascites. It is commonly associated with mucinous tumors of the ovary or appendix, and a frequently relapsing and protracted disease. But, there are much confusion about its etiology, clinical manifestation, treatment, and prognosis. We experienced a case of pseudomyxoma peritonei originating from the borderline and microinvasive mucinous tumor of the ovary. So we report this case with a brief review of literatures.
