Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare, slow-growing borderline malignancy tumor. The incidence rate was approximated at 1–2 people per million per year. The disease mostly originated from the gastrointestinal tract, but sometimes may arise from the Gynaecology system. As the abundant mucin or gelatinous ascites was produced, the tumors cause fibrosis of tissues and impede digestion or organ function, and if left untreated, the tumors and mucin will fill the abdominal cavity. The treatment for Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) was currently based on cytoreduction surgery accompanied by adjuvant hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Nevertheless, the side effects of HIPEC made this treatment combination controversial.We hereby presented a 62-year-old woman who suffered from abdominal fullness and cachexia for over 6 months. Under the pre-operation diagnosis of a huge pelvic tumor, exploratory laparotomy surgery was performed. Pathological reported lowgrade pseudomyxoma peritonei arising from mature cystic teratoma. After finishing the cytoreduction surgery, we planned to keep her under adjuvant therapy with intraperitoneal chemotherapy and HIPEC. Based on this case report, a review of the treatment of Pseudomyxoma peritonei was done. |
