Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) may culminate as a mucin-secreting disease known as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). Once the diagnosis of LAMN and PMP is made, cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS and HIPEC) are indicated. Herein, we present a female patient in her 50s who was diagnosed with an ovarian mass for which she underwent laparoscopic oophorectomy. As the pathology of the ovary showed a tumour of gastrointestinal origin, she then underwent CRS and HIPEC with a final pathology of LAMN. Six weeks later, a mucinous lesion confined to the abdominal wall was detected on a postoperative CT. Suspected for port-site metastasis at the laparoscopic trocar site, we treated this lesion using the same principles of treatment as the intra-abdominal disease. The abdominal wall mass was surgically resected, and the cavity created was irrigated with mitomycin C. On 30 months of follow-up, the patient had no evidence of disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
