Abstract
Low-grade mucinous appendiceal neoplasms are rare tumors. There is limited data on the treatment for pseudomyxoma peritonei with low-grade appendiceal histology. Classifications of appendiceal neoplasms include low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN), diffuse peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM), and peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA). Studies have demonstrated patients with low-grade appendiceal neoplasms have improved overall survival compared to patients with high-grade appendiceal neoplasms. Since low-grade tumors have better prognosis some retrospective trials have suggested observation in patients with these types of tumors. Another option includes cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). We have done an extensive literature search exploring the various methods in which to treat patients with this disease.
