Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by profuse jelatinous materials in the abdominal cavity and pelvis with mucinous implants on the peritoneal surface. There are some studies for serum tumor markers, including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), to assess the risk of recurrence following cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. However, rare cases were reported about recurrence with increasing serum CEA levels. Herein, we report a case of recurrence of PMP according to serially elevated serum CEA.
