Abstract
Treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies makes physicians face demanding and new-fangled problems, as there are many uncertain aspects considering the outcomes of affected patients' prognoses. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are associated with favorable long-term outcomes in carefully selected patients with peritoneal metastases (PM). We aim to summarize the current results about the initial malignancies and their peritoneal spreads. The current literature has been scrutinized, and studies between 2016 and 2022 were included wherein long-term, progression-free (PFS), and overall survival (OS) data were considered relevant information. Medline, Embase, and Google Scholar have been the main sources. Hereby, we cover all the primer malignancies: gastric, ovarian, and colorectal cancers with peritoneal metastases (PM), malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, and pseudomyxoma peritonei. Examining the advances in the current peer-reviewed literature about the indications of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), target groups, risk factors, and other influencing elements, we intend to provide a complex state-of-the-art report, establishing the relevant aspects of that emerging treatment method.

Abstract
Introduction Mucocoele of the appendix occurs in 0.2-0.7% of people in the world without any well-defined clinical symptoms. It occurs when there is an accumulation of mucous in the lumen of the appendix. Case Presentation We present three cases: a 48-year-old male admitted to the emergency room with a one-day history of right iliac fossa pain. Abdominal examination was suggestive of acute appendicitis. The initial abdominal computerised tomography scan was reported as being unremarkable. At surgery, a firm tumour of the appendix was found, and a limited right hemicolectomy was done. Histopathology confirmed a mucocoele of the appendix with borderline mucinous histology.The second case is a 63-year-old man who presented with a one-year history of abdominal distension and weight loss. Previous abdominal ultrasound was suggestive of liver cirrhosis with significant ascitic fluid. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging found an appendix mucocoele with infiltration of the omentum and scalloping of the liver surface suggestive of pseudomyxoma peritonei. A percutaneous biopsy of the omental mass confirmed metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix.The third case is a 68-year-old man who, during an annual medical check-up, had an incidental finding of a cystic right iliac fossa mass on ultrasound, confirmed on abdominopelvic computerised tomography scan to be an appendix mucocele. He had laparoscopic appendicectomy. The histopathological diagnosis confirmed a mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix. Conclusion Preoperative diagnosis of appendiceal mucocoele is difficult and commonly discovered intraoperatively. The prognosis is good for the histologically benign type, but it is poor when malignant or peritoneal lesions are present. Funding None declared.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gold standard in the treatment of mucinous intra-abdominal neoplasms is cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Despite complete cytoreduction up to 45% of patients develop recurrences. METHOD A search and analysis of the current literature were carried out. RESULTS There is still controversy regarding the best treatment strategy for patients with recurrent pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) after CRS and HIPEC. The clinical management of these patients depends on many factors, such as the site and volume of recurrence, histological subtype and symptoms. Treatment options range from repeated surgery with curative intent with or without HIPEC to watch and wait strategies. In selected patients redo surgery is feasible and safe with low morbidity and mortality. Iterative complete CRS can result in a median 5‑year overall survival of more than 80%. Debulking surgery leads to a prolonged survival and to symptom control fora period with of nearly 2 years. CONCLUSION Repeated complete cytoreduction of recurrent PMP can result in long-term survival. Tumor debulking surgery may be particularly beneficial for symptomatic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the expression of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 199 (CA199) and CA125 in serum and ascites of appendiceal pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) patients relative to their diagnostic and predictive value. METHODS The study comprised 183 patients with pathologically confirmed appendiceal PMP, enrolled from May 2012 to June 2020, in Aerospace Center Hospital. Serum and ascites tumor markers were obtained, and their diagnostic values were compared by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The prognostic factors of appendiceal PMP with different pathologic subgroups were calculated by univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression models. RESULTS There were significant differences between the numbers of patients with positive CEA and CA199 in serum vs. ascites: p = 0.034 in CEA and p = 0.006 in CA199, respectively. The sensitivities with optimal cut-off values for ascites markers of CEA, CA199 and CA125 were 83.5%, 88.9% and 72.6%, respectively. CEA in ascites showed significant difference in the diagnosis of appendiceal PMP (p = 0.000); the areas under the ROC curves (AUROCs) and specificity were 0.725, 70.7%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the higher the ascites tumor markers, the poorer the survival (p = 0.014). Multivariate analysis indicated that completeness of cytoreduction (CCR), ascites CEA and pathological grade were independent risk factors for overall survival (OS). CONCLUSION CEA in ascites can be used to help specify the origin of PMP. Furthermore, elevation of ascites CEA, high pathological grade and incomplete cytoreduction predicted poor prognosis of appendiceal PMP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The term pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) describes a clinical syndrome characterized by the presence of gelatinous intraperitoneal accumulation of mucus. It mostly originates from a mucocele of the vermiform appendix. Affected patients are often asymptomatic for a long time. Because of its indolent nature it is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. Clinical presentation is determined by the dissemination of the tumor. METHOD A search and analysis of the current literature were carried out. RESULTS Based on the morphological characteristics PMP subtypes with various malignant potential can be differentiated. The prognosis depends on the histopathological differentiation and the clinical stage. The treatment spectrum varies from laparoscopic appendectomy to complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). CONCLUSION Due to the rarity of PMP there are no prospective randomized studies. Therefore, there is still controversy regarding the best stage-dependent treatment strategy. This review article attempts to clarify the optimal management of mucinous neoplasms of the appendix and PMP taking the clinical presentation and the histological differentiation into consideration.

Abstract
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is an infrequent solid tumor in clinical practice. The low morbidity and deficient understanding of this mucus-secreting malignant disease increase the risks of delayed identification or uncontrollable deterioration. In quite a lot cases, patients go through complete cytoreduction surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy could receive a long time survival over 5 years. But the recurrence rate is also hard to overlook. Unlike other types of cancer, the standard treatment for this considerable groups has not been confirmed yet. With the advanced medical progression, studies have been carrying out based on pathogenesis, biological characters, and mutated gene location. All but a few get statistical survival benefits, let alone the breaking progress on research or therapeutic practice in the field. We try to give a comprehensive exposition of pseudomyxoma peritonei around the epidemiology, radiologic features, clinical manifestation, present treatment and promising schemes, hoping to arise much attention and reflection on the feasible solutions, especially for the recrudescent part.

Abstract
Background As a rare clinical tumor syndrome with an indolent clinical course and lack of pathognomonic symptoms, pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage. In-depth pathological analysis is essential to assess tumor biological behaviors, assist treatment decision, and predict the clinical prognosis of PMP. The tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) is a promising prognostic parameter based on the tumor and stroma. This study explored the relationship between TSR and the pathological characteristics and prognosis of PMP. Methods PMP patients with complete data who underwent cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy were enrolled. The TSR of postoperative pathological images was quantitatively analyzed by Image-Pro Plus. Then the relationship between TSR and the clinicopathological characteristics, immunohistochemical characteristics and prognosis of PMP was analyzed. Results Among the 50 PMP patients included, there were 27 males (54.0%) and 23 females (46.0%), with a median age of 55 (range: 31–76) years. 25 (50.0%) patients were diagnosed with low-grade PMP (LG-PMP), and 25 (50.0%) were diagnosed with high-grade PMP (HG-PMP). There were 4 (8.0%) patients with vascular tumor emboli, 3 (6.0%) patients with nerve invasion, and 5 (10.0%) patients with lymph node metastasis. The immunohistochemical results showed that the Ki67 label index was < 25% in 18 cases (36.0%), 25 - 50% in 18 cases (36.0%) and > 50% in 14 cases (28.0%). The range of TSR was 2 - 24% (median: 8%). The cutoff value of TSR was 10% based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and X-Tile analysis. There were 31 (62.0%) cases with TSR < 10% and 19 (38.0%) cases with TSR ≥ 10%. The TSR was closely related to histopathological type (P < 0.001) and Ki67 label index (P < 0.001). Univariate analysis showed that preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19–9, pathological type, vascular tumor emboli and TSR influenced the prognosis of PMP patients (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative CEA, vascular tumor emboli and the TSR were independent prognostic factors. Conclusions The TSR could be a new independent prognosticator for PMP.

Overall Survival is More Closely Associated with Peritoneal than Primary Appendiceal Pathological Grade in Pseudomyxoma Peritonei with Discordant Pathology. Ann Surg Oncol 2021; 29:2607-2613.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The WHO classification of mucinous appendix neoplasms and pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) describes low- and high-grade histology and is of prognostic importance. The metastatic peritoneal disease grade can occasionally be different from the primary appendix tumor. This analysis aimed to report outcomes from a high-volume center in patients with pathological discordance. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of prospective data of patients treated by cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for PMP at a single institution between January 2016 and December 2020. Reporting was by pathologists with a special interest in peritoneal malignancy. Discordant pathology was classified as a low-grade primary appendix tumor with high-grade peritoneal disease, or a high-grade primary appendix tumor with low-grade peritoneal disease. Outcomes analyzed were overall and recurrence-free survival, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the log-rank test were used to analyze the outcomes. RESULTS Between 2016 and 2020, 830 patients underwent CRS and HIPEC for PMP, of whom 37 (4.4%) had discordant pathology. The primary appendix tumors were low-grade in 23 patients and high-grade in 14 patients. The median Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) was significantly higher in patients with a low-grade primary tumor (31 vs. 16; p = 0.001), while complete cytoreduction (CC0/1) was achieved in 31/37 (83.8%) patients. The median follow-up was 19 months. Overall survival was worse in those with high-grade peritoneal disease (p = 0.029), whereas recurrence-free survival was similar in both groups (p = 0.075). CONCLUSION In PMP with pathological discordance, the peritoneal disease grade influences prognosis and survival.
