Abstract :

Appendiceal neoplasms are rare, accounting for 0.6 percent of gastrointestinal malignancies and approximately 0.7–1 percent of appendicectomies specimens (1, 5). Most of the appendicular malignancies are detected incidentally. We herein report a case of 76 years old male with no comorbidities, presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain and vomiting. On physical examination the abdomen was distended without guarding or rigidity. An abdominal CT revealed an ileo–colic intussusception (fig1). Patient underwent laparoscopic quarter colectomy with ileo–colic anastomosis. Post–operatively patient recovery was uneventful. The histopathology report showed low–grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) (fig 4).
