Pulmonary metastases in pseudomyxoma peritonei syndrome.
BACKGROUND Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare disease arising from a mucinous cystadenoma of appendiceal origin. The syndrome has been characterized by progressive growth of mucinous tumors, tense mucinous ascites, and ultimately death. Abdominal and pelvic recurrence after resection of intraperitoneal disease occurs in all patients unless adjunctive measures are taken. Local spread of PMP ...
متن کاملPulmonary Metastasis from Pseudomyxoma Peritonei
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical condition, where copious mucinous ascites accumulate in the peritoneal cavity due to dissemination of mucin-producing tumor. Because of this disseminating, yet nonmetastasizing, behavior, PMP attracts much interest from surgical oncologists in that aggressive locoregional therapy can give the opportunity of long survival and even cure. Although ex...

متن کاملPseudomyxoma peritonei.
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a relatively rare and poorly understood condition in which mucus accumulates within the peritoneal cavity. The presence of cells in the mucin, either inflammatory or neoplastic, distinguishes it from simple acellular mucus ascites caused by mucinous spillage. There is widespread seeding of the peritoneal and omental surfaces with a heavy cancerous glaze. This is princi...
