Four cases of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma with squamous metaplasia (so-called adenocanthoma) of the uterus were associated with granulomatous inflammation of the pelvic peritoneum. The inflammation was the result of a foreign-body response to keratin that desquamated from the surface of the tumor and was carried to the peritoneal cavity through the lumen of the Fallopian tubes. The absence of viable neoplastic cells and favorable follow-up examinations in these patients indicate that the presence of peritoneal keratin granulomas in association with endometrial adenoacanthoma should not be regarded as an indicator of metastatic spread.

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm: A case report.

Medicine (Baltimore)

December 2024

Department of General Surgery, Nujiang Prefecture People's Hospital, Nujiang, Yunnan, China.

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.
