Abstract
Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare malignancy with incidence of 0.7% to 1.7% of all appendicectomies [1]. LAMN has the worst complication of mucin seeding into adjacent peritoneum leading to pseudomyxoma peritonei. LAMN lacks standardised treatment approach where only appendicectomy is preferred for resection of non metastatic disease. Case Presentation A 38 yr old female presented with right lower quadrant where CT Abdomen revealed Mucocele of Appendix. Patient underwent Laparoscopic Appendicectomy and Histopathological examination revealed Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. Patient is on regular follow up and is disease free. Conclusion low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm is usually an incidental finding where treatment depends on staging and histology of the tumour.
