Abstract:

Pseudo Myxoma Peritonei (PMP) or gelatinous disease of the peritoneum is a very rare tumor that originates from a ruptured appendiceal mucocele in the abdomen. Other uncommon origins are described in the literature like ovaries and peritoneum. Although the condition occurs in both sexes, but it affects especially women between the age of 50 and 70. We hereby report the case of a 28 years old French woman diagnosed with a suspicious solid ovarian mass of 62.8 mm × 99.7 mm, associated with peritoneal effusion. The patient underwent one week later a diagnostic laparoscopy with left salpingo-oophorectomy revealing a left ovarian tumor of 10 cm associated with diffuse gelatinous ascite. The microscopic exam of the tumour showed a low-grade metastatic ovarian mucinous carcinoma associated with a pseudomyxoma peritonei with the appendix being the most probable origin.
