Mucinous and Nonmucinous Appendiceal Adenocarcinomas: Different Clinicopathological Features but Similar Genetic Alterations [PDF]
The genetic alterations of appendiceal carcinomas have not been reported in detail. We studied the clinicopathological factors and genetic alterations including microsatellite instability, p53 overexpression, and mutations of the K-ras proto-oncogene of 30 appendiceal adenocarcinomas, consisting of 23 mucinous and 7 nonmucinous carcinomas. Sixteen (70%)

Classification of mucinous appendiceal neoplasm and pseudomyoxma peritonei
Mucinous appendiceal tumors are uncommon and include a wide spectrum of tumors whose classification remained controversial. Some of these mucin producing appendiceal tumors can disseminate to the peritoneal cavity leading to pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP).
