Abstract

A 53-year-old lady presented with post-menopausal bleeding (spotting) for two days and abdominal pain for three months. CT scan revealed bilateral adnexal mass and ascites; and CEA and CA19.9 was raised.

Generally, pseudomyxoma peritonei arises from primary ovarian or appendiceal adenomas or adenocarcinomas. Keywords: Adenocarcinomas; ascites; metastases; mucinous carcinoma; pseudomyxoma peritonei.
