Abstract
In summary, we report a case of secondary infertility attributed to pseudomyxoma peritonei caused by ruptured appendiceal mucocele. Resection of the tumor and visible mucinous ascites resulted in spontaneous conception. We hypothesize secondary infertility was caused by significant peritoneal inflammation and inhibition of sperm-oocyte interaction from the ascites.Entities:
