Diagnosis and Misdiagnosis of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei in Chinese Patients(Review of the Literature 2000-2008)
Abstract：Objective:To summarize the clinical, imageology and pathological characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of PMP.Methods:285 PMP patients were statistically analyzed, using CHKD full-data base.Results:Abdominal pain and distention were mainly clinical symptoms.The predominant patho-origin was from appendix,the second was from ovary.Typical exhibitions of Ultrasonic B were non-uniform and chambered ascites which could not flow well,multiple honeycombing echoless areas in abdomen,peripheral scalloping or multiple cysts of liver and spleen,cystic and entity mass in abdominal cavity or pelvic cavity.Typical exhibitions of CT were CT value was between 12-21Hu,peripheral scalloping or multiple cysts in liver and spleen,low-attenuation and honeycombing masses or chambered ascites in abdominal cavity,thicken retina; gathering intestine,non-uniform masses.Conclusion:PMP clinical manifestation showed no specific misdiagnosis. Typical imageology analysis and venter prick could provide clinical diagnosis,while final conclusion depended on pathology.Operation and early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy were top options.Protection of peripheral organs may reduce PMP during appendectomy and oothecectomy.
