Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare clinical condition that can arise from various primary tumors with different biological behaviors. An intraperitoneal spread of mucus is the characteristic of the disease. Here, we provide images from a rare entity, a pseudomyxoma peritonei arising from urachal mucinous adenocarcinoma. If clinical suspicion is high, the preoperative imaging could be almost pathognomonic of the disease.
腹膜假黏液瘤是一种罕见的临床病症,可起源于具有不同生物学行为的各种原发性肿瘤。黏液在腹腔内播散是该疾病的特征。在此,我们展示了一个罕见病例的影像,即由脐尿管黏液腺癌引起的腹膜假黏液瘤。如果临床怀疑度高,术前影像学检查几乎可确诊该病。
