PSEUDOMYXOMA PERITONEI SECONDARY TO A VERY RARE OVARIAN CANCER: PRIMARY INFILTRATIVE INTESTINAL TYPE MUCINOUS ADENOCARCINOMA OF THE OVARY WITH INTESTINAL METASTASIS (A CASE REPORT)

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) syndrome is a disease that typically occurs from ruptured appendiceal mucocele neoplasms. PMP syndrome may arise from malignant transformation of a primary ovarian cancer. In this case study, we present the evaluation and treatment of a 48-year-old patient diagnosed with a left ovarian mass and significant symptomatic abdominopelvic mucinous ascites. Peritoneal cytology indicated paucicellularmucin. The final diagnosis confirmed the presence of diffuse peritoneal adenomucinosis. The treatment approach involved a cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy. Our findings contribute to the existing body of literature endorsing the use of this intensive treatment approach, typically reserved for advanced abdominal malignancies. We applied this strategy to a patient presenting with a rare clinical entity, further supporting its efficacy in such cases.
