Pseudomyxoma peritonei is arare disease caused by dissemination of cancer forming mucous and gelatinous masses in the peritoneal cavity. Local recurrence is frequent; however, dissemination outside the peritoneal cavity is rare. Case report: We present the case report of afemale patient treated for bilateral pulmonary metastases from pseudomyxoma peritonei. We removed 1 metastasis from her left lung and 12 metastases form her right lung. The patient remained in agood clinical state; however, additional lung metastases developed, as well as ametastasis in L2 vertebra for which the patient underwent asurgical procedure. Conclusion: Cytoreductive surgeries for intrathoracic involvement in pseudomyxoma peritonei with additional hyperthermic cytostatic intrapleural lavage in case of pleural involvement can lead to alonger lifespan in indicated patients.
