ABSTRACT

El pseudomixoma peritoneal es una enfermedad de evolución recurrente y potencial maligno variable, caracterizada por ascitis gelatinosa disecante y, habitualmente, invasión peritoneal generalizada. Durante muchos años fue considerada una enfermedad intratable o incurable, y solo en las últimas décadas -y en centros muy especializados- se ha enfocado con un tratamiento radical y multimodal con miras a lograr la curación. Se presenta el caso de un varón de 43 años con un pseudomixoma de apéndice avanzado, que evolucionó bien después de un tratamiento agresivo.


Pseudomyxoma peritonei, a disease of recurrent progression with variable malignant potential, is characterized by pressing gelatinous ascytis and frequently by generalized peritoneal invasion. During many years, it was considered as untreatable and incurable disease; however, in the last few decades, very specialized centers have focused on the radical and multimodal treatment of this disease with a view to curing it. Here is the case of a 43 years-old patient with advanced appendicealpseudomyxoma that recovered well after an aggressive treatment.
