Core Tip Appendiceal mucoceles complicated by pseudomyxoma peritonei are uncommon and often present with nonspecific symptoms that delay diagnosis. Optimal management requires cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. This five-patient case series highlights diverse presentations, imaging findings, operative strategies, and recurrence patterns. Our experience underscores the importance of early recognition, complete cytoreduction, individualized hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy protocols, and long-term surveillance to manage the chronic nature of pseudomyxoma peritonei effectively.
