- - The review focuses on pseudomyxoma peritonei (PP), emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between primary and secondary ovarian causes for effective cancer treatment, especially since ovarian mucinous carcinoma resists standard chemotherapy.
- - An extensive analysis of relevant studies from 2010 to 2024 revealed that surgery followed by Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) offers the best long-term survival but highlights the need for accurate tumor origin diagnosis to choose appropriate therapy.
- - The findings suggest that although HIPEC is the standard for resectable cases, the treatment results for mucinous ovarian carcinoma are inconsistent compared to other ovarian cancers, prompting further research into mucin's role as a potential resistance factor to

The authors present the case of a 56 year-old patient diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei, 4 years after being subjected to a left adnexectomy for ovarian cystadenoma. The intra-parietal insemination of the mucinous cells enabled the development,at this level, of a gelatinous mass that raised problems of differential diagnosis with irreducible incisional hernia. In what regards the preoperative signs of clinical and paraclinical diagnosis we consider them obscure and nonspecific.
