Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an uncommon disease characterized by the seeding of mucin-secreting tumor cells throughout the abdomen and accumulation of mucin in the abdominal and pelvic cavities. Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas are defined as pancreatic neoplasms that accumulate mucin within dilated ducts. Only a few cases of pancreatic IPMNs are associated with extra-pancreatic mucin and lead to PMP. This manuscript describes an unusual case of PMP caused by ruptured pancreatic IPMN.
