[Peritoneal pseudomyxoma secondary to mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary].

We present a new case of pseudomyxoma peritonei secondary to a mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary, whose presenting symptoms were abdominal distension and bilateral hernias. This is an uncommon entity and diagnosis tends to be casual. Each day, ultrasonography and computed tomography are more useful in suspicion. Aggressive surgical debulking followed by intraperitoneal chemotherapy seem to be the better treatment, even though controversies persist.
