There are several published classification schemes for appendiceal mucinous neoplasms with resultant inconsistent use of terms and clinical doubt. While nomenclature is more settled with regards to ovarian mucinous neoplasms, the difficulty here lies with distinguishing primary from secondary mucinous tumours. This review highlights the terminology and nomenclature for appendiceal mucinous tumours, the relationship with ovarian mucinous neoplasms and pseudomyxoma peritonei, and the features that assist in separating primary from secondary ovarian mucinous tumours.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/postgradmedj-2013-202023rep","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,13]],"date-time":"2015-01-13T00:03:05Z","timestamp":1421107385000},"page":"41-45","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Republished: Mucinous tumours of appendix and ovary: an overview and evaluation of current practice"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"91","author":[{"given":"Marjan","family":"Rouzbahman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Laboratory Medicine Program, University Health Network, University of Toronto , Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Runjan","family":"Chetty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Laboratory Medicine Program, University Health Network, University of Toronto , Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023041905282235600_R1","volume-title":"WHO classification of tumours of the digestive system","author":"Bosman","year":"2010"},{"key":"2023041905282235600_R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2383","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19951201)76:11<2383::AID-CNCR2820761130>3.0.CO;2-6","article-title":"Epithelial noncarcinoid tumors and tumor-like lesions of the appendix","volume":"76","author":"Carr","year":"1995","journal-title":"Cancer"},{"key":"2023041905282235600_R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1525","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(197312)32:6<1525::AID-CNCR2820320632>3.0.CO;2-C","article-title":"Mucosal hyperplasia, mucinous cystadenoma, and mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix.
