Challenges in diagnosing pseudomyxoma peritonei in a hepatitis B patient: A case report
This case illustrates a rare presentation of PMP in a patient with co-existing hepatitis B, in which the initial diagnosis was biased towards cirrhosis: a more common cause of ascites in hepatitis B patients. This case highlights the importance of considering PMP in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with unexplained ascites and abdominal distension.
