This is a study by Tru cut needle of twelve cases of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei misdiagnosed clinically as metastasis, appendicular or ovarian mass. The histological studies showed, in the different biopsies, columnar or pseudo stratified epithelium with uniform looking nuclei with exception in two cases, lakes of mucin, fibrous tissue with fibroblasts and chronic inflammatory infiltration. There is a great deal in the literature about the nature and source of the lesion, management and prognosis. This study will help in giving criteria to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.
