| Abstract (English): |
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) constitutes a rare, chronic, relapsing pathological entity with an estimated incidence of 1-2 cases per 10000 laparoscopies (1 case / million / year) characterized by the accumulation of relatively mucous semi-solid masses in the peritoneal cavity. Pseudomyxoma peritonei presents a wide spectrum of manifestations, ranging from benign to borderline to malignant. We present the case of a 49-year-old patient diagnosed four years previous with pseudomyxoma peritonei, admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine -Pneumology, with dyspnea, fever, physical asthenia, cramp-like abdominal pain, weight loss. The diagnosis of recurrent pseudomyxoma peritonei has been established following imaging investigations correlated with elevated tumour markers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Romanian): |
Pseudomixomul peritoneal (PMP) este o entitate patologica rara, cronica, recidivanta cu o incidență estimată de 1-2 cazuri la 10000 laparoscopii (1 caz/million/an) caracterizată prin acumularea unor mase semisolide mucinoase relativ transparente în cavitatea peritoneală. Pseudomixomul peritoneal îmbracă un spectru larg de manifestari, de la benigne la cele ''la limită'' (borderline) şi până la cele maligne. Prezentam cazul unei paciente in varsta de 49 de ani, diagnosticata in urma cu patru ani cu pseudomixom peritoneal, care se prezinta in Departamentul de Medicina Interna -Pneumologie, acuzand, dispnee, febra astenie fizica, dureri abdominale difuze, scadere ponderala. In urma investigatiilor imagistice corelate cu valori crescute ale markerilor tumorali s-a stabilit diagnosticul de pseudomixom peritoneal recidivat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
