Mucinous Low-grade Neoplasm of Appendix: A Case Report

Abstract

Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract, the most common site being the appendix. Late diagnosed neoplasms may not be differentiated from adnexal masses even by advanced imaging methods and other diagnostic procedures. This might lead to fatal condition. These tumors are often discovered incidentally, either during a survey or at the time of surgery for other causes. We, hereby, present three cases of LAMNs found incidentally during various surgeries in our centre. We conclude that early histopathological diagnosis is mandatory for the timely treatment.
