Pseudomyxoma (Pseudofoulness)

Pseudomyxoma (Pseudofoulness) is a rare disease that is characterized by the development of a mucoid tumor in the abdominal cavity. It often develops simultaneously with multiple ovarian myxomas, making its diagnosis and treatment more challenging.

One of the most common forms of pseudomyxoma is peritoneal pseudomyxoma (pseudomyxoma peritonei). In this case, the contents of the myxoma, which usually develops in the ovary, spills into the abdominal cavity and continues to develop there. As a result, massive tumors can form, which can lead to serious complications such as dysfunction of internal organs and even death.

Symptoms of pseudomyxoma may vary depending on where it develops and the stage of the disease. These may include abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, abdominal enlargement, and bowel and bladder problems.

Various testing methods are used to diagnose pseudomyxoma, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and tumor biopsy. Treatment for pseudomyxoma may include surgical removal of the tumor, as well as chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Although pseudomyxoma is a rare disease, it can lead to serious complications and even death if not treated promptly. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor if any symptoms related to the abdominal cavity appear and undergo regular examinations to detect possible diseases in a timely manner.

Pseudomyxoma or pseudotumor is a rare disease in which mucoid tumors form in the abdominal cavity. These tumors can occur simultaneously with or without multiple ovarian myxamas.

In peritoneal pseudomyxoma, the contents of the myxoma spill into the abdominal cavity, where they continue to develop, forming massive tumors in the abdominal cavity. This disease can lead to serious complications such as abscesses, peritonitis and even sepsis. Treatment for pseudomyxoma includes surgical removal of tumors and chemotherapy.
