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

Abstract

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) remains difficult to diagnose and has a guarded prognosis. Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare entity, of appendicular origin in the majority of cases. Its clinical symptomatology is not specific, the diagnosis is evoked by imaging and surgery, and confirmed by histology.
