Abstract Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) remains difficult to diagnose and has a reserved prognosis. Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare entity, of appendicular origin in the majority of cases. Its clinical symptomatology is not specific, and the diagnosis is evoked by imaging and surgery and confirmed by histology.
