Inflammatory changes associated with peritoneal tumor formations can lead to fistula formations and adhesions which can cause chronic bowel obstruction
CT is a useful technique in distinguishing simple ascites from PMP since nodular nature of the mucinous material results in a suggestive finding such as hepatic scalloping
