Abstract
A young woman was referred to us for the management of an umbilical hernia with macerated overlying skin through which massive ascites was leaking. On examination we found a jelly-like substance seeping out of the opening. A contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen revealed bilateral ovarian cystadenocarcinoma with pseudomyxoma peritonei. The patient underwent cytoreductive surgery along with hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with mitomycin C. Histopathological examination showed bilateral borderline cystadenoma with peritoneal adenomucinosis. Follow-up at 1 year showed no signs of recurrence. 2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
