It occurs predominantly in young to middle-aged women and the majority of cases were associated with a history of abdominal or pelvic operation, a history of endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. BMPM involving only the omentum is not mentioned in the literature; here, we present a unique case of BMPM which was diagnosed as cystic lymphangioma with differential diagnosis of pseudomyxoma peritonei in a 40-year-old patient presenting as recurrent abdominal pain.\nDownloads\nDownloads\nPublished\nIssue\nSection\nLicense\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
