Abstract

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is characterized by diffuse mucinous ascites and mucinous implants on the peritoneal surfaces. The authors report a case of a 73-year-old man with complaints of abdominal distention, nausea, fatigue, and asthenia for the past two months. The patient underwent diagnostic laparoscopy, and histological examination revealed pseudomyxoma peritonei secondary to low-grade mucinous carcinoma with intestinal differentiation. The patient was referred to Oncology for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy along with complete cytoreduction surgery.

Keywords: pseudomyxoma peritonei, mucinous ascites, oncology, laparoscopy, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, Portugal
