Abstract
Mucinous tumors of appendix are not frankly malignant, but if ruptured can result in intraperitoneal spread and development of pseudomyxoma pertonei [PMP]. At the lower end of spectrum are Low grade mutinous neoplasm [LAMN], which have been historically called mucoceles of appendix and accounts for less than 0.3% of appendectomy findings. We present the case of 33 years old male who had complaints of sudden onset of pain abdomen for 5 days. Computer tomography was done with evidence of dilatation of appendix with cystic lesion of 50*43mm.The patient underwent laparotomy with right hemicolectomy. The histology report showed a low grade appendiceal neoplasm. Therefore LAMN should be considered as one of the differentials in patients presenting with acute abdomen and right iliac fossa mass.
