Abstract

The case report of a 32 years patient with history of progressive increase in abdomen volume   making difficult breathing and feeding is presented. She is admitted in the Internal Medicine Service of the Ecuatorian institute hospital of social insurance in Ibarra city, with ascites diagnosis to be studied.  When carrying out the abdominal tap, a jelly-like liquid is extracted, reason why the hypothesis of a peritoneal pseudomyxomata tumor is stated. Taking into account these characteristics the biopsy report from an appendectomy made 2 years earlier is recovered, where the presence of an appendix mucinous tumor was found. Cytoreduction surgery was performed without intraperitoneal hyperthermia and the mentioned hypothesis was confirmed.
