The presentation often varies, making diagnosis challenging. Timely identification and treatment are critical to prevent rupture, which may lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei. We describe the case of a 41-year-old male who presented for evaluation of acute right lower quadrant abdominal pain. The clinical impression was consistent with appendicitis with a clinical suspicion for underlying malignancy. The patient was brought to the operating room for an exploratory laparotomy and right hemicolectomy, revealing low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. The diagnosis of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm can be challenging given the variable presentation and imaging findings. Early recognition and treatment are imperative to prevent progression to pseudomyxoma peritonei. Our case report seeks to contribute to the ongoing literature and provide a review of the current knowledge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae717","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,19]],"date-time":"2024-11-19T01:05:43Z","timestamp":1731978343000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Diagnostic uncertainty and management of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm\u2014a case report and review of the literature"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2024","author":[{"given":"Charles","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center , Neptune, NJ 07756 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Veysel K","family":"Embel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center , Neptune, NJ 07756 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mackenzie E","family":"Fox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center , Neptune, NJ 07756 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robin","family":"Donne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center , Neptune, NJ 07756 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Glenn S","family":"Parker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center , Neptune, NJ 07756 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024111901053361000_ref1","first-page":"e46591","article-title":"Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm: what is the best treatment?","volume":"15","author":"Guner","year":"2023","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"2024111901053361000_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"69","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.159.1.1609724","article-title":"Mucocele of the appendix: imaging findings","volume":"159","author":"Madwed","year":"1992","journal-title":"AJR Am J Roentgenol"},{"key":"2024111901053361000_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1038\/modpathol.2014.129","article-title":"Mucinous epithelial neoplasms of the appendix and pseudomyxoma peritonei","volume":"28","author":"Misdraji","year":"2015","journal-title":"Mod Pathol"},{"key":"2024111901053361000_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"757","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19950201)75:3<757::AID-CNCR2820750303>3.0.CO;2-F","article-title":"Epithelial noncarcinoid tumors and tumor-like lesions of the appendix.
