Abstract:
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare manifestation of primary mucinous neoplasms. We report two rare cases of PMP originating from mucinous primary ovarian neoplasms. The case series discusses the cases of female patients aged 86 and 52 years who presented with worsening dyspepsia, abdominal distension, pelvic pain, and altered bowel habits. Both of the patients underwent evaluation comprising cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) levels, ultrasound (US) examination of the abdomen and the pelvis, tumor markers, cytological evaluation, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of the pelvis and abdomen. Patients were diagnosed to have pseudomyxoma peritonei arising from mucinous ovarian tumors. Patients were referred to the surgical department and were successfully managed with repeated removal of mucinous material. The present case report highlights the significant radio-pathologic characteristics of PMP, which originated from mucinous ovarian tumors.
摘要:
腹膜假粘液瘤(PMP)是原发性粘液性肿瘤的罕见表现。我们报告了两例源自黏液性原发性卵巢肿瘤的PMP罕见病例。该病例系列讨论了86岁和52岁女性患者出现消化不良恶化的病例,腹胀,盆腔疼痛,改变了排便习惯.两名患者均接受了包括癌症抗原-125(CA-125)水平的评估,超声(美国)检查腹部和骨盆,肿瘤标志物,细胞学评估,骨盆和腹部的对比增强计算机断层扫描(CECT)。患者被诊断为由粘液性卵巢肿瘤引起的腹膜假性粘液瘤。患者被转诊到外科部门,并通过反复去除粘液性物质成功地进行了治疗。本病例报告强调了PMP的显着放射病理特征,起源于粘液性卵巢肿瘤。
