Main Article Content
Abstract
Pseudomyxoma peritonei was first described
by Werth as the presence of gelatinous ascites and
implants that involve the peritoneal surfaces and
omentum. (1) This condition is rare, usually accidentally
found during an operation for ovarian tumor.
Moreover, the origin of the disease and how to treat it
are still obscure and researchers are still searching for
the best treatment options for the best outcome. This
article reviews current clinical profiles, and best
current options for the management of patients with
pseudomyxoma peritonei.
