J Surg Pak Jan ;7(4):39-41.

Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Syndrome is a rare condition. Preoperative clinical diagnosis and to sort out the primary pathology is still a diagnostic dilemma. Although C.T scan, TAG-72 antigen and analysis of CK-7, 18,CEA and HAM56 are used but there accuracy in determining Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Syndrome is still debatable. A patient presented to us in which diagnosis of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Syndrome was made preoperatively but we were unaware of the primary pathology despite thorough investigations.
