Retroperitoneal pseudomyxoma (RP) is a rare condition characterized by mucinous tumor growth within the retroperitoneal space, commonly originating from the appendix or other abdominal organs. RP presents with non-specific symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and weight loss, making accurate diagnosis challenging. Due to its rarity and symptom overlap with other conditions, RP requires careful management by a multidisciplinary healthcare team.
