Associated with ovarian tumours
Appendicitis
Yellow jelly collection of fluid
Common in male
This rare condition occurs more frequently in women. The abdomen is filled with a yellow jelly, large quantities of which are often encysted. The condition is associated with mucinous cystic tumours of the ovary and appendix. Recent studies suggest that most cases arise from a primary appendiceal tumour with second- ary implantation on to one or both ovaries.
