ABSTRACT
The authors describe two cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei, one of which with a lengthy clinical course and the other with a rapidly fatal outcome. The clinical picture in pseudomyxoma peritonei is associated with a variety of benign or malignant mucus-secreting tumours, mainly originating in the appendix or ovaries. Survival is generally long owing to the lack of visceral invasion or metastases. An accurate prognostic assessment can only be achieved on the basis of identification of the primary tumours and its degree of malignancy.
