Abstract

Pseudomyxoma or peritoneal adenomucinosis is a rare condition.

Its incidence is estimated at 1 to 2 cases per year per million inhabitants, with a female predominance [1].

The origin of pseudomyxoma peritonei remains controversial.

Thanks to immunohistochemistry and molecular engineering, it is accepted that the origin is appendicular in about 90% of cases [2,3].

However, mature cystic teratomas associated with borderline ovarian mucinous tumours represent an exception to this rule [4].
