[Pseudomyxoma of the peritoneum (author's transl)]. / Das Peritonealpseudomyxom.

ABSTRACT

A case report is given of a peritoneal pseudomyxoma originating from pseudomucineous cystadenomata of both ovaries. The diagnosis was established by peritoneoscopy and histological examination. Both ovaries were removed surgically and cytostatic treatment initiated thereafter; hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion was done as well. The patient lives after surgery now for more than a year without recurrence of the disease.
