ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare and complex clinical syndrome characterized by the accumulation of mucinous ascites within the peritoneal cavity, typically associated with mucinous tumours of appendiceal origin. Despite its rarity, PMP poses significant challenges in diagnosis and management due to its indolent yet locally aggressive nature. This comprehensive review provides insights into the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of PMP, synthesizing current evidence and emerging trends in the field. Challenges and opportunities in PMP management are discussed, along with recommendations for clinical practice emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and specialized care. Despite ongoing challenges, advances in surgical techniques, perioperative chemotherapy, and emerging therapies offer hope for improved outcomes and quality of life for PMP patients.
