  • Title: Peritoneal pseudomyxoma arising from the urachus.
    Author: Martínez A, Ferron G, Mery E, Gladieff L, Delord JP, Querleu D.
    Journal: Surg Oncol; 2012 Mar; 21(1):1-5. PubMed ID: 20189378.
    Abstract:
    Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) arising from urachal tumors is extremely rare. To our knowledge, natural history, tumor biological behaviour, morbidity, treatment, and prognosis of PMP arising from the urachus are determined by the associated PMP. Management of urachal tumors with associated PMP should be based on aggressive locorregional therapy with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, similar to PMP arising from other origins.
