Abstract
Recurrence of low-grade appendiceal pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) with splenic invasion and parastomal hernia is exceptionally rare. We present a 47-year-old female with recurrent PMP, four years post-cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). She presented with abdominal distension, splenic invasion, and parastomal hernia. Imaging revealed extensive peritoneal and pelvic metastases, splenic lesions, and parastomal hernia. Intraoperative findings confirmed widespread pseudomyxoma, involving the spleen and diaphragm. She underwent CRS, splenectomy, tumor resection, adhesiolysis, partial colectomy, hernia repair, and diaphragmatic reconstruction, followed by intraoperative HIPEC. Despite postoperative complications, the patient recovered well with no recurrence over 20 months. This case underscores the challenges of managing recurrent PMP with splenic metastases and parastomal hernias, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and personalized therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
