Pseudomyxoma peritonei leading to "jelly belly" abdomen: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Pseudomyxoma peritonei is an infrequent condition with a global annual incidence of only one to two cases per million people. Mucinous neoplasms, widespread intraperitoneal implants, and mucinous ascites characterize it. Currently, most clinicians misdiagnose this condition, which leads to delayed management.
