It occurs predominantly in the sixth or seventh decades,and has a distinct female predominance. Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare condition resulting from a ruptured mucin- producing lesion of the appendix or ovary. It is not easily diagnosed clinically before operation and only histopathologic finding provides the correct final diagnosis. Treatment should consist of evacuation of the mucinous ascites and removal of the mucocele. Reoperations for correction of intestinal obstruction may be needed. The role of chemotherapy is uncertain, and external radiation is probably of no value. We experienced a case of colonic adhesion caused by pseudomyxoma peritonei that originated from the vermiform appendix. This patient was 75 year old female who had suffered from lower abdominal pain associated with constipation and tenesmus for 5 days. We performed ileocecal resection and ileocecal anastomosis. We report this case with brief review of the literature.(korean J Med 59:64-68, 2000) Key Words : Pseudomyxoma peritonei; Mucocele; Appendix (mucocele). 1842 Rokitansky1-3), 1884 Werth4).,,. 50-60. : 1999 3 8 : 1999 9 22 :, 108, (100-634) E-mail : lsi@medigate.net - 64 -
