All are true about Pseudomyxoma peritnonei except: (A) Common in male, (B) Associated with ovary tumours, (C) Yellow jelly collection of fluids, (D) Appendicetal adeno carcinoma
Answer is A. .This rare condition occurs more frequently in women. The abdomen is filled with a yellow jelly, large quantities of which are often encysted. The condition is associated with mucinous cystic tumours of the ovary and appendix. Recent studies suggest that most cases arise from a primary appendiceal tumour with second- ary implantation on to one or both ovaries.
