Abstract:

Pseudomyxoma Extra Peritonei (PE) is a rare finding, the most common cause is the rupture of a mucocele of the appendix into the retroperitoneum. Here we report a case of a 52 years old female patient with a mass in the right abdomen and vague lower abdominal pain underwent resection of an extraperitoneal encapsulated mass. The histopathological examination revealed a mucinous pseudomyxoma with a low grade of differentiation. We report a case of pseudomyxoma extra peritonei with a review of literature.
