RESUMEN
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.
ABSTRACT
Pseudomyxoma peritonei, a disease of recurrent progression with variable malignant potential, is characterized by pressing gelatinous ascytis and frequently by generalized peritoneal invasion.

Here is the case of a 43 years-old patient with advanced appendicealpseudomyxoma that recovered well after an aggressive treatment.
