Pseudomyxoma Peritonei: A Case Report of a Patient With Unexplained Granulomas

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare type of neoplasm, characterized by the presence of mucinous tumors on the peritoneal surface. The authors report the case of a 79-year-old male who came to the hospital with abdominal pain and distension, weight loss, and increased abdominal perimeter. Histopathology is fundamental for making the diagnosis. Survival depends on the extent of the neoplasm. This case reveals the challenges of reaching an accurate and prompt diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei.
