Mucocèle appendiculaire compliquée de pseudomyxome péritonéal

Pseudomyxoma peritonei induced by a well-differentiated appendicular mucinous adenocarcinoma: An uncommon cause of isolated ascites in a young man patient

“…The peritoneal implants present as hypodense, heterogeneous nodular lesions that are enhanced after injection of contrast medium, often located in areas of declining stasis, notably the cul-de-sac of Douglas and the parietocolic gutters, and may coalesce at the level of the greater omentum to form the "omental cake". 11,12 In our case, the CT scan objectified a scalloping change around the liver.…”

“…A hypodense, sometimes multicompartmental peritoneal effusion associated with curvilinear calcifications, may also be seen. The peritoneal implants present as hypodense, heterogeneous nodular lesions that are enhanced after injection of contrast medium, often located in areas of declining stasis, notably the cul‐de‐sac of Douglas and the parietocolic gutters, and may coalesce at the level of the greater omentum to form the “omental cake.” 11,12 In our case, the CT scan objectified a scalloping change around the liver.…”

“…According to Ronnett, PMP can be divided into three categories such as disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM) with an overall survival of 80% at 10 years, peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA) with less than 10% survival at 3 years, and an intermediate type, which has hybrid features of DPAM and PMCA with less than 60% survival at 3 years. 2,12 According to the WHO's classification reported in 2010, a mucinous tumor can be divided into low-grade and high-grade PMP. Low-grade PMP is characterized by low cellularity, unremarkable cytology, and a nonstratified cuboidal epithelium.…”
