71 Pseudomixoma Peritonei: Characterization of the primary appendiceal tumor The absence or presence of mucus or epithelium in the peritoneum determines the primary tumor diagnosis, irespective of its histological appearance The presence of mucus outside the appendix, even if it is acellular, is not compatible with a diagnosis of adenoma (a lesion curable by complete excision). (Carr, Sobin, WHO Classification of digestive tumors 2010 ) The question of whether these tumors are ruptured adenomas or invasive carcinomas is not easily answered. (Misdraji, 2010): INTERMEDIATE TERMS: MUCINOUS APPENDICEAL NEOPLASM, LAMN borderline tumor of the appendix, mucinous tumors of low malignant potential, mucinous tumors of uncertain malignant potential The nomenclature of peritoneal lesions and primary tumor should reflect its histological appearance A ruptured adenoma with associated DPAM is still an adenoma; its prognosis is certainly different from an intact adenoma without peritoneal dissemination; the adjectives specify this detail

79 Adenocarcinoma of the appendix (WHO) NJ Carr, MJ Arends, GT Deans, LH Sobin It has been suggested that appendix adenomas may cause disseminated pseudomixoma peritonei with a terminal outcome, and some authors use the term adenomucinosis for the spread of these lesiones within the abdomen. It is considered that with higher probability these cases are examples of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma 3 rd Ed., 2000
80 Adenocarcinoma of the appendix (WHO) NJ Carr, LH Sobin The term disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM) should be avoided, since low and high grade lesions represent a continous spectrum and the concept of ruptured adenoma does not reflect the clinical course that ofentimes result in death from abdominal visceral obstruction Primary tumor: Misdraji PMP: Bradley Descriptive terms, with no diagnostic nor prognostic value: 4ª Ed, 2010 Cyst Mucocele

93 Pseudomyxoma peritonei: What is next?
94 Pseudomyxoma Peritonei: Take-home Messages 1.! PMP, although a rare disease, has served as a model disease in the development of Peritoneal Surface Oncology. 2.! The clinical and scientific knowledge about PMP as well as its therapeutic approach has developed over the last 2-3 decades and it is very well established at this point. 3.! The main pending issue in PMP has to do with nomenclature associated with its histopathological classification and characterization. Consensus work among expert surgical oncologist and pathologist is underway, another historical landmark for this rare disease.
