Abstract Background Pseudomyxoma peritonei PMP is a rare condition characterized by mucinous tumors disseminated intra-peritoneal implants and mucinous ascites. So far its diagnosis remains challenging to most clinicians. Case presentation A 55-year-old male patient had suffered from acute onset of abdominal pain and abdominal distension for one day prior to his admission. Physical examination revealed tenderness over the right lower quadrant of the abdomen without diffuse muscle guarding. A large amount of ascites was identified by abdominal computed tomography CT scan. .
