Blunt abdominal trauma causing intraperitoneal injury and/or bleeding can be life-threatening, requiring immediate intervention. Diagnosing these cases can be challenging, especially when pre-existing conditions are involved. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare tumor of the appendix that can lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm: A case report.

Rationale: Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a clinically rare tumor that predominantly occurs in females and presents with nonspecific symptoms, often resulting in misdiagnosis. While postoperative pathology remains the gold standard for diagnosis, accurate preoperative identification through various diagnostic methods is essential for effective treatment planning. To raise awareness of this condition, we present a case of a middle-aged male diagnosed with LAMN.

Introduction: Collision tumors of the appendix are rare tumors consisting of two distinct pathologies arising from different cell lines simultaneously. The most common type is the coexistence of a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) with a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN). We report a unique case of appendiceal collision tumor with synchronous cecal intra-mucosal carcinoma and pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Article Synopsis
  • * A case study of a 52-year-old male revealed that testicular pain led to the discovery of a ruptured appendiceal mucocele, resulting in invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma.
  • * Treatment involves careful surgical management, with the option for an appendectomy and planning for elective HIPEC after ensuring complete removal of the tumor; prognosis varies based on disease extent and surgical success.

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a tumor that primarily originates from the appendix and belongs to the family of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs). In 50% of female patients, AMNs (particularly LAMNs) have a tendency to metastasize to organs in the genital tract, where the neoplasm can mimic the features of primary ovarian mucinous cancer (POMC). The present case report reviewed the difficulties in differentiating between these two types of tumors.
