ABSTRACT
Psuedomyxoma peritonei is an infrequent clinical entity characterised by intraperitoneal mucinous/gelatinous ascites produced by the cancerous cells. It has been associated with gastrointestinal, gynaecological, lung and breast tumours. It is commonly asymptomatic and is most often detected incidentally on abdominopelvic imaging or laparoscopy. Higher histological grade of the tumour shows increased metabolic activity on 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron-emission tomography (PET) computed tomography (CT). It has been rarely reported in patients with sarcoma. We hereby present an interesting case of incidentally diagnosed pseudomyxoma peritonei on 18FDG PET-CT scan of a patient with soft tissue sarcoma of peripheral nerve sheath.
