- GC.7365
- Wet specimen. Portion of the peritoneum, showing pseudomyxoma. From an adult female in whom the condition followed rupture of a compound cystic ovarian tumour. The peritoneum is swollen and infiltrated and, with the mucinous degeneration which its proliferated endothelium undergoes and the diffuse implantation of mucinous cysts on its surface, an irregular translucent conglomeration of jelly-like masses results.
