Abstract
Peritoneal pseudomyxoma (PMP) is a rare condition characterized by the accumulation of mucin in the peritoneal cavity. Its origin is most often appendicular, although forms of ovarian origin have been described. We report two cases illustrating these two etiologies. The first case involves a peritoneal pseudomyxoma of appendiceal origin presenting with progressive abdominal distension. The second case involves a peritoneal pseudomyxoma of ovarian origin confirmed histologically. Through these cases, we discuss the clinical, radiological, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects, comparing them to the major series in the literature.
