RESUMEN

Pseudomixoma peritonei is a rare neoplasm characterized by mucinous ascites and the mucinous involvement of peritoneal surfaces, omentum and bowel loops. Usually pseudomixoma peritonei is associated with benign or malignant mucinous tumor of the appendix or ovary. The diagnosis of pseudomixoma peritonei is difficult because laboratory and radiology results are frequently nondiagnostic. We report a case that was initially mistaken for carcinomatosis of unknown origin and that underwent cytoreductive procedure and omentectomy as the treatment of choice.
