Abstract:
Pseudomyxoma Peritonei is a condition in which, as a result of ruptured mucinous tumors of the ovary or appendix, the peritoneal surface and omentum are involved with mucin secreting cells. This is a rare disease which occurs predominantly in middle aged women, characterized by histologically benign but whicth is clinically malignant. We have experienced a case of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei due to rupture of borderline mucnous tumor of the ovary and report with a brief review of literatures.
