Description
Four months of vague right-sided belly pain led to an uncommon appendix diagnosis for a 45-year-old man, Marisela Silva García and colleagues recount in a 2026 case report. Scans showed a mucus-filled, swollen appendix about 22 millimeters wide, with wall thickening and calcification but no leak or spread.
Because the lump sat close to the cecum, surgeons removed the right colon segment rather than risk bursting the appendix during a smaller operation. Pathology confirmed a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, 10 centimeters long, with a clean base and no mucin outside the organ. Recovery was smooth, and the authors stress careful handling plus tailored follow-up for such lesions.
