Article Synopsis
- Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, which are rare and make up less than 1% of all cancers, are becoming more common and pose significant treatment challenges, particularly due to their tendency to spread within the abdominal cavity.
- A 42-year-old man from Chad experienced severe abdominal pain and was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei, likely originating from an appendiceal tumor; he underwent aggressive management including chemotherapy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
- The patient's treatment involved removing affected organs, and the prognosis largely depends on the tumor's grade and the degree of invasion.
Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a pruritic, rapidly growing cutaneous neoplasm originating from the infundibulum of the hair follicle on the sun-exposed area. Usually presents as a dome-shape with a centralized keratinous plug. Whether KA is benign or malignant is challenging due to its similarity to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
