Abstract
Since appendiceal neoplasms have a rare incidence within the spectrum of intestinal neoplasms, they have an important differential diagnosis for patients in the fifth and sixth decade, especially those with a clinical picture suggestive of appendicitis. Mass radiological findings in the periapendicular region, metastatic implants, and ascites may suggest the diagnosis, but it is only confirmed after the surgical approach and biopsy. This case report presents a case of low-grade mucinous appendage tumor with peritoneal pseudomyxoma. It is importance due to its low incidence and, therefore, highlight the main aspects found in the surgery that are fundamental for intraoperative macroscopic diagnosis, choice of treatment technique and treatment.
 Key-words: Cecal Appendix; Peritoneal Pseudomyxoma; Mucinous Tumor.
