Background: The aim of the present study was to establish a predictive model to predict the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) preoperatively in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP).

Methods: A total of 372 PMP patients were consecutively included from a prospective follow-up database between 1 June 2013 and 1 June 2023. Nine potential variables, namely, gender, age, Barthel Index (BAI), hemoglobin (Hb), albumin (Alb), D-dimer, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA 125), and CA 19-9, were estimated using multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis with a stepwise selection procedure.

Blunt abdominal trauma causing intraperitoneal injury and/or bleeding can be life-threatening, requiring immediate intervention. Diagnosing these cases can be challenging, especially when pre-existing conditions are involved. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare tumor of the appendix that can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Foreign body granuloma (FBG) is an inflammatory reaction to an exogenous agent. This entity is well known on the cutaneous organ but very rarely described in the abdominal cavity. We report three clinical cases of intraperitoneal FBG following major debulking of pseudomyxoma and intraperitoneal hyperthermia chemotherapy.

Introduction And Importance: Appendiceal cancers are rare tumors, with mucinous cystadenocarcinoma accounting for 58 % of malignant appendiceal tumors. Mucinous cystadenocarcinomas are typically low grade but may lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei, causing accumulation of gelatinous material in the abdomen, often referred to as 'jelly belly'. In rare instances, the tumor may perforate into the retroperitoneal cavity leading to the phenomenon described as pseudomyxoma retroperitonei or extraperitonei.

Article Synopsis
  • Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare condition linked to mucin-producing tumors, usually starting in the appendix, leading to mucin buildup in the abdomen.
  • Researchers conducted RNA-seq analysis on ten PMP cases and their healthy tissue to reveal 32 differently expressed genes, indicating that PMP tumors arise from goblet cells.
  • The study found significant associations between PMP tumors and important biological processes like epithelial-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, and inflammation, with further analysis highlighting distinct gene expressions in different PMP types, suggesting more aggressive traits in peritoneal mucinous adenocarcinomas (PMCA).
