Disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM) is a relatively rare cause of pseudomyxoma peritonei, marked by peritoneal lesions with abundant extracellular mucin and little cytologic atypia among exfoliated tumor cells, and usually associated with appendiceal adenomas. Peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA) also causes diffuse peritoneal tumor but is marked by neoplastic mucinous epithelium with cytologic features of carcinoma and associated with appendiceal, colon, gastric, or small bowel carcinoma. Compared with PMCA, DPAM has a different distribution of disease and a significantly better prognosis. DPAM is characterized by the lack of lymph node involvement, with primarily superficial peritoneal involvement, and a relatively benign, relapsing course over many years. Dominant primary masses may not be evident in DPAM. Despite considerable overlap in the two main causes of pseudomyxoma peritonei, there are features of the two that may help differentiate between them. We present the computed tomographic appearance of DPAM in a series of seven cases and emphasize characteristics of the disease.

“…istics include homogenous hypoechoic, solid nodules with low to moderate vascularity (7). Contrast enhanced CT will reveal solid lesions dispersed in the abdominal cavity with heterogeneous contrast uptake in the arterial and venous phase, gradually progressing to a homogenous uptake in the late phase (8).…”

It is difficult to diagnose DPL due to its resemblance to malignant conditions (6) .The main differentials would be Peritoneal carcinomatosis, Peritoneal lymphomatosis, Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), Leiomyosarcoma. In Peritoneal carcinomatosis carcinoma from GIT (stomach, colon, appendix, gallbladder and Pancreas) metastasize to the peritoneal surfaces.…”
