We present a case of a 61-year-old male who initially presented with right iliac fossa pain, worsening over 3 days, accompanied by appetite loss but no other symptoms. The patient\u2019s history included a splenectomy and epilepsy. Physical examination and computed tomography scan suggested a picture of acute appendicitis. He underwent an emergency laparoscopic appendectomy that was converted to open right hemicolectomy due to the mass\u2019s adherence to the cecum. The mass, at the cecum, originating from the appendix, measured 10 \u00d7 7 \u00d7 7\u00a0cm. Pathology confirmed a moderately differentiated MAA. Accurate diagnosis requires a combination of imaging and histopathology. The patient recovered well and was discharged on Day 6 postoperatively. We aim to highlight the importance of distinguishing MAA from acute appendicitis and the need for careful preoperative evaluation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae713","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,19]],"date-time":"2024-11-19T01:02:42Z","timestamp":1731978162000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix presenting as acute appendicitis: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4828-5896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asham","family":"Al Salkhadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Mubarak Al Kabeer Hospital , Al-Jabriyah 32001 ,","place":["Kuwait"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-7818-8620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad Ajwad","family":"Al Salkhadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Jordan University of Science and Technology , Irbid 22110 ,","place":["Jordan"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-2906-5673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayham","family":"Hasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Tishreen University , Lattakia 041 ,","place":["Syria"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024111901023411700_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"743","DOI":"10.1007\/s11605-014-2726-7","article-title":"The rise in appendiceal cancer incidence: 2000-2009","volume":"19","author":"Marmor","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Gastrointest Surg"},{"key":"2024111901023411700_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1072","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0b013e318269d680","article-title":"Improving the AJCC\/TNM staging for adenocarcinomas of the appendix: the prognostic impact of histological grade","volume":"257","author":"Overman","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ann Surg"},{"key":"2024111901023411700_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1270","DOI":"10.3892\/ol.2014.1842","article-title":"Primary appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma mimicking bladder carcinoma: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"7","author":"Deng","year":"2014","journal-title":"Oncol Lett"},{"key":"2024111901023411700_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.1200\/EDBK_321009","article-title":"Current management of appendiceal neoplasms","volume":"41","author":"Hoehn","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am Soc Clin Oncol Educ Book"},{"key":"2024111901023411700_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02236899","article-title":"Appendiceal tumors: retrospective clinicopathologic analysis of appendiceal tumors from 7,970 appendectomies","volume":"41","author":"Connor","year":"1998","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"key":"2024111901023411700_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"397","DOI":"10.18203\/2349-3933.ijam20241636","article-title":"Mucinous carcinoma of the appendix: a case report","volume":"11","author":"Aryadhana","year":"2024","journal-title":"Int J Adv Med"},{"key":"2024111901023411700_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"369","DOI":"10.3978\/j.issn.2078-6891.2012.033","article-title":"Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix presenting as intussusception in 27 year old female","volume":"3","author":"Siddiqui","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Gastrointest Oncol"},{"key":"2024111901023411700_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"203","DOI":"10.1080\/00015458.2010.11680598","article-title":"How should we treat mucinous appendiceal neoplasm?
