Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix with pseudomyxoma peritonei presenting as total uterine prolapse. A case report.

Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix occurred with symptoms limited only to a total uterovaginal prolapse. Preoperative intravenous pyelogram and pelvic ultrasonography demonstrated the presence of a large pelvic mass. Exploratory laparotomy revealed the mass to be appendiceal adenocarcinoma, which was treated with extirpation of all the visible tumor and repair of the anatomic defect.
