Abdominal Pseudomyxoma: a Clinical Case
Abstract
Abdominal pseudomyxoma is a rare condition without any specific symptoms. Abdominal pain, nausea or ascites often can be the only symptoms of abdominal pseudomyxoma for a long time after the disease onset. In the majority of cases when patients present with unspecific abdominal symptoms, ultrasound and endoscopy are performed. However, these diagnostic procedures have low sensivity for detection of abdominal pseudomyxoma, which results in late diagnosis and unfavourable prognosis. In the given clinical case importance of CT in patients with abdomianl pain and ascites in the absence of other known cause is emphasized.
