  • Title: Ultrasound features of disseminated adenomucinosis (pseudomyxoma).
    Author: Tsai CJ.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 1998 May; 71(845):564-6. PubMed ID: 9691905.
    Abstract:
    Pseudomyxoma is a clinical entity in which the peritoneal surfaces and omentum are involved with gelatinous, mucinous implants, and often massive gelatinous ascites. Most cases originate from ruptured ovarian cysts or appendiceal mucoceles, and involve only the intraperitoneal cavity. This report describes a case of disseminated adenomucinosis, the benign form of pseudomyxoma, with both peritoneal and retroperitoneal involvement. The diagnosis was suggested by real-time ultrasound and confirmed at surgery. The ultrasound characteristics of this rare entity and the differential diagnoses are discussed.
