Abstract
A case of preoperatively diagnosed mucinous cystadeno-carcinoma of the appendix is reported with a review of the literature. A 65-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of right lower abdominal pain and a palpable mass in the same quadrant. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a mass lesion of the caecum, and a colon fiberscopy was performed. A submucosal tumor-like elevated lesion of the appendix orifice was revealed and a biopsy material taken from the epithelia of the appendix orifice revealed mucinous carcinoma with signet-ring cell carcinoma. Right hemicolectomy with D3 lymph node dissection was carried out. Microscopically it was mucinous cystadeno-carcinoma with signet-ring cell like components, se, n1, stage III.
