Pseudomyxoma peritonei may result from implantation of benign or malignant tumor in peritoneal cavity and is filled with gelatinous material (termed "Jelly Belly") in abdominal cavity. Its origin is usually an appendiceal or ovarian mucinous adenoma or cystadenocarcinoma, but other primary origin such as uterus, intestine, pancreas and stomach umor have been reported. Generally, pseudomyxoma peritonei is slowly progressive and has low grade malignant potential. This report presents a unusual long term survival after evacuation of 15,000 cc of gelatinous material from abdominal cavity which was the low grade mucinous adenocarcinoma and a review of the current literature, management and new its concept. The origin of pseudomyxoma peritonei of this case was most likely from appendiceal mvcinous adenocarcinoma.
