In this article, we present two cases of peritoneal pseudomyxoma suspected on abdominal CT Scan and then confirmed on pathologic examination. A mucinus carcinoma was the primary lesion in the two cases, appendicular in the first case and with an undeterminate origin in the second. The prognosis was bad in these cases despite the debulking surgery and the systemic and intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
