AI Article Synopsis
- * Although percutaneous drainage can help relieve symptoms, it's challenging because the mucin is very thick, making removal tricky with standard catheters.
- * BromAc is a new treatment being developed to dissolve these mucinous tumors, and the report discusses a patient who has undergone several BromAc treatments over four years.
Article Abstract
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare peritoneal malignancy characterized by the progressive accumulation of mucinous material and tumour within the abdomen and pelvis. Percutaneous drainage of mucin may be a non-surgical option for relief of symptoms; however, it remains difficult due to the high viscosity of mucin, with numerous case reports reporting difficulty removing material through medium-bore catheters alone. BromAc is a therapy currently undergoing development which dissolves mucinous tumour masses and allows for extraction. This report describes the case of a patient who has had multiple treatments with BromAc over 4 years.
