Core Tip

Core Tip: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a distinct type of peritoneal malignancy that predominantly originates from appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, and PMP originating from small intestine is extremely rare. Here we report a case of PMP originating from the jejunum in an attempt to enhance our understanding of this disease.
