Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix associated with ovarian tumors and Pseudomyxoma peritonei. The difficulty in differential diagnosis
Anales De Medicina Interna, 2000Co-Authors: Ciriza C, S Valerdiz, C Toribio, Dajil S, Urquiza O, Karpman GAbstract:Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix is rare. If there is a concomitant ovarian tumor to determine the primary might be difficult. Histological features are not always determinant, but there are some macroscopic findings that may suggest an origin in the appendix. We report a case of synchronous tumors in appendix and ovaries with Pseudomyxoma peritonei. The patient presented with mass sensation in the right lower quadrant, asthenia, anorexia and weight loss. Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan showed a tumor involving cecum, appendix, terminal ileum and pelvis. Findings on colonoscopy and biopsies were inconclusive. At laparotomy, the tumor compressed appendix, cecum and ascendant colon, terminal ileum, ovaries and Peritoneum. Histopathological analysis demonstrated a well-differentiated mucinous adenocarcinoma of appendiceal origin with metastasis in ovaries and Peritoneum (Pseudomyxoma peritonei).

Ultrasound characteristics of ovarian metastases from low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms
Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2018Co-Authors: Francesca Moro, F. Pozzati, Floriana Mascilini, Giulia Magoga, T. Pasciuto, Gianfranco Zannoni, Giovanni Scambia, A. C. TestaAbstract:Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) include all mucinous tumors of the appendix without an infiltrative histological pattern, either confined to the appendix or that have spread to the Peritoneum (Pseudomyxoma peritoneii), according to the WHO Classification1 (Suppl 1). The ovarian involvement from LAMN is not uncommon and in most cases is the first evidence of primitive LAMNs. Metastatic LAMNs to the ovary are more indolent and have a better prognosis than metastatic appendiceal adenocarcinomas.2
