An uncommon cause of isolated ascites: Pseudomyxoma peritonei

Abstract

Pseudomyxoma peritonei or Gelatinous Peritoneal Disease is a rare disease. We report a case treated in the department of Hepato-Gastroenterology at Ibn Sina Hospital in Rabat, of a 64-year-old male who presented with an abdominal pain and an increased volume of the abdomen corresponding to ascites. Imaging and anatomopathological study made it possible to diagnose the disease. However, given the general state of the patient, he is under palliative care. Case Report
