ABSTRACT Pseudomyxoma peritonei is the intraperitoneal accumulation of a gelatinous ascites secondary to mucinous tumour rupture, more commonly associated with ovarian and appendiceal mucinous tumour. However, pancreatic mucinous tumour, rarely Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm (IPMN) is sometimes the aetiological factor.
