Eur Radiol. 1999;9(3):457-9. doi: 10.1007/s003300050692.

Abstract

We report a rare case of pseudomyxoma retroperitonei in a 58-year-old woman with a past history of severe appendicitis. The imaging showed a multicystic mass similar to pseudomyxoma peritonei, but the tumor was located in the retroperitoneal space.
