Abnormal Radionuclide Uptake in Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

A case of pseudomyxoma peritonei with increased radionuclide uptake in the abdomen is described. The uptake of the radionuclide was confined to the omentum as confirmed by the CT study of the abdomen and pelvis. The mechanism of uptake and differential diagnosis are discussed.
