Meanings of pseudomyxoma peritonei in inglês

Conclusions: Although pseudomyxoma peritonei is associated with borderline and well-differentiated tumors, recurrence is common and the prognosis after recurrence is guarded.

Our observation revealed an abundant mucin production with pools of mucin similar to those of pseudomyxoma peritonei and an inflammatory infiltrate with prominent lipid phagocytosis.

Methods: Twenty-seven patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (19 males and 8 females) were enrolled in a phase II clinical trial.

Objective: To review the experience at the Massachusetts General and Brigham and Women's Hospitals with 23 women treated for pseudomyxoma peritonei between 1961 and 1991.

Aims and background: Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare disease characterized by a complete redistribution of mucin within the peritoneal cavity.
