Abstract
|
|
|
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare condition resulting from a ruptured mucin-producing lesion of the appendix or ovary. Treatment should consist of evacuation of the mucinous ascites and removal of the mucocele. Repeated operations for correction
of
intestinal obstruction and aggresive surgical approach may be needed. The role of chemotherapy is uncertain, and external radiation is probably of no value.
We experienced 2 cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei that origninated from the vermiform appendix, We performed omentectomy, appendectomy and chemotherapy with FAM. These unusal presentations of pseudomyxoma peritonei are discussed with a brief
review
of
literature.
