Pseudomyxoma peritonie is a rare clinical condition occuring due to mucinous tumour of appendix..Incidence of pseudomyxoma peritonie is one to two million per yer1.It is a rare entity which is often asymptomatic and often patient presents with vague symptoms such as chronic abdominal pain.We present a case of a 60 year old female  patient with pseudomyxoma peritonie and review its literature regarding its management
