난소와 충수돌기의 경계성 점액종양에서 동시에 생긴 복막 위점액종 1례 = A Case of Pseudomyxoma Pertonei with Borderline Mucinous Tumors of the Ovary and Appendix

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Pseudomyxoma peritonei results from diffuse peritoneal involvement with mucinous material by implantation of malignant tumors or irritation from ruptured benign cysts. Its origin is usually associated with mucinous cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary and appendix. This disease is characterized by relatively long term survival and absence of extraperitoneal metastasis. However, to predict the disease progression remains difficult because of the wide spectrum of underlying pathologic processes with varying malignant potential. Aggressive surgical approach with resection of the tumor bulk of disease offers the optimal palliation and prognosis We have experienced one case of pseudomyxoma peritonei originated from borderline mucinous tumors of the ovary and appendix, and report this case with the brief review of literature.
