We have reported a case of pseudomyxoma peritonei manifested as a splenic mass in a 38-year-old woman. Upon reviewing previously reported cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei with visceral involvement or extension above the diaphragm, we conclude that such spread of the disease does not significantly alter the prognosis. Furthermore, our findings support the concept that pseudomyxoma peritonei represents the implantation of malignant cells rather than metaplastic transformation of mesothelial cells.
我们报告了一例腹膜假黏液瘤，表现为一名38岁女性的脾脏肿块。回顾先前报道的伴有内脏受累或膈上扩散的腹膜假黏液瘤病例后，我们得出结论，该疾病的这种扩散不会显著改变预后。此外，我们的研究结果支持腹膜假黏液瘤代表恶性细胞植入而非间皮细胞化生转化这一概念。
