Pseudomyxoma peritonei associated with colloid carcinoma of the pancreas

A case of pseudomyxoma peritonei associated with a mucin-rich, “colloid” adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is described. This previously unreported association was characterized by an extremely rapid clinical course, transerosal spread of the neoplastic process, and the consistent presence of intracyto...
