The Great Imposter: A Rare Case of a Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Mirroring Severe Appendicitis

PMP (Pseudomyxoma Peritonei) is an uncommon disease occurring most commonly via pierced Appendiceal epithelial tumour followed by ovaries. The best therapy contains a mix of CRS (Cytoreductive surgery) along with intense HIPEC (Intraperitoneal chemotherapy).There is an argument related to the diagnostic category on its predictive significance.Tomography computer imaging is the best pre-operative method.High tumour indicator is associated with poorer diagnosis and bigger reappearance rates.A 33-year-old female was admitted to the emergency department of Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital with severe pain over the right iliac fossa with four episodes of vomiting and one episode of fever.On Examination, he had Tenderness and Rebound Tenderness over the Right Iliac Fossa.CECT showed features suggestive of Acute Appendicitis and the patient was taken up for Surgery where a biopsy showed Pseudomyxoma Peritonei.The patient further underwent HIPEC and was followed up for 1 year with no recurrence of the disease.
