Abstract: | A case of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix is presented. The clinical feature is a painful syndrome of the right iliac fossa. In our observation, the diagnosis was not allowed by preoperative imaging. Appendectomy was initially performed and completed by right hemicolectomy and lymphadenectomy after histological diagnosis of the appendicular malignant tumour was forwarded. The prognosis of this tumour is generally excellent providing early diagnosis and wide enough surgery. |
