Mucinous neoplasms, widespread intraperitoneal implants, and mucinous ascites characterize it. Currently, most clinicians misdiagnose this condition, which leads to delayed management.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 44-year-old North Indian female presented with a 1.5-month history of an abdominal lump. Physical examination revealed a sizeable abdominopelvic mass at 36\u00a0weeks. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a massive multiloculated right ovarian cystic mass measuring 28\u00a0\u00d7\u00a023\u00a0\u00d7\u00a013\u00a0cm with mild ascites and elevated carcinoembryonic antigen levels (113.75\u00a0ng\/ml). A provisional diagnosis of ovarian mucinous neoplasm was made, for which the patient underwent laparotomy. Intraoperatively, there were gross mucinous ascites, along with a large, circumscribed, ruptured right ovarian tumor filled with gelatinous material. The appendicular lump was also filled with mucinous material along with the omentum, ascending colon, right lateral aspect of the rectum, splenic surface, and small bowel mesentery. Cytoreductive surgery was performed along with an oncosurgeon, including total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy, omentectomy, right hemicolectomy, lower anterior resection, ileo-transverse stapled anastomosis with proximal ileal loop diversion stoma, excision of multiple peritoneal gelatinous implants, and peritoneal lavage. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the presence of intestinal-type mucinous carcinoma. Postoperatively, the patient was given six cycles of chemotherapy. She tolerated it without any specific morbidity and had an uneventful recovery. Postoperative follow-up at 15\u00a0months revealed normal tumor marker levels and abdominal computed tomography findings and no signs suggestive of local recurrence or distal metastases.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare disease that is frequently misdiagnosed in the preoperative phase. Therefore, radiologists and clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for accurate diagnosis and multidisciplinary management.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-024-04612-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,28]],"date-time":"2024-06-28T00:02:19Z","timestamp":1719532939000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Pseudomyxoma peritonei leading to \u201cjelly belly\u201d abdomen: a case report and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0336-4750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Priyanka","family":"Garg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikhil","family":"Garg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sameer","family":"Peer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deepika","family":"Chholak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manjit","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"4612_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.2147\/IJGM.S51504","volume":"7","author":"AM de Oliveira","year":"2014","unstructured":"de Oliveira AM, Rodrigues CG, Borges A, Martins A, dos Santos SL, Rocha Pires F, et al.
