Pseudomyxoma peritonei
A usually well differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma of the peritoneum. The majority of cases represent tumor spread from a primary low grade mucinous neoplasm of the appendix. Cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei associated with mucinous adenocarcinomas of the gallbladder, stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, lung, breast, and fallopian tubes have also been reported. In the past, the ovary has been considered as a common primary site associated with pseudomyxoma peritonei. However, there is recent evidence based on immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic analysis suggesting that most cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei probably represent metastasis from an appendiceal and not ovarian primary.

Tensor Fascia Lata (TFL) flap is a flap with small volume of muscle on its proximal portion and a thin fasciocutaneous flap on its distal portion. TFL flap in this case was designed in a V-shaped pattern and an extended double folding TFL flap was used in order to cover the sore with a large amount of soft tissue. There is no sign of recurrences after 3 months follow-up. This is a good method for covering trochanteric pressure sores. Check the case and add your valuable opinion.
