Preferred Label : Pseudomyxoma Peritonei;
NCIt synonyms : Mucinous Carcinoma Peritonei; Gelatinous Ascites; Mucinous Ascites; Peritoneal Cavity Pseudomyxoma Peritonei; Myxoma Peritonei;
NCIt definition : A usually well differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma of the peritoneum. The majority
of cases represent tumor spread from a primary low grade mucinous neoplasm of the
appendix. Cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei associated with mucinous adenocarcinomas
of the gallbladder, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, lung, breast, and fallopian
tubes have also been reported. In the past, the ovary has been considered as a common
primary site associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei. However, there is recent evidence
based on immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic analysis suggesting that most
cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei probably represent metastasis from an appendiceal
and not ovarian primary.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A build-up of mucus in the peritoneal cavity. The mucus may come from ruptured
ovarian cysts, from the appendix, or from other abdominal tissues. Mucus-secreting
cells may attach to the peritoneal lining and continue to secrete mucus.;
