Gelatinous disease of the peritoneum, designated by Anglo-Saxon authors as peritoneal pseudomyxoma is a rare affection characterized by the presence in the peritoneal cavity of a mucoid substance corresponding to an acid mucopolysaccharide. It develops secondary to an acid mucopolysaccharide. It develops secondary to mucosecreting malignant tumors, particularly of ovarian or appendicular origin, and its capacity to provoke multiple recurrences makes it of fairly poor prognosis. Diagnosis has been improved by the availability of non-aggressive investigations such as ultrasound and particularly computed tomography imaging. Suggestive CT scan signs are hepatic scalloping and a partitioned intraperitoneal effusion. Follow up scans can give data on the course of the disease and detect any complications (renal and digestive lesions, intraperitoneal abscess).
