Abstract

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is an unusual clinical entity in which the peritonea[ cavity is filled with a gelatinous material that is mucinous in nature. We present ultrasonographic and computed tomography findings in a patient with pseudomyxoma peritonei secondary to ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma.
