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).

A Journey from Appendicitis to a Rare Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm [PDF]
We present here a 66-year-old Caucasian male whose persistent abdominal pain thought to be due to appendicitis and associated acute splanchnic thrombosis. He was initially managed with antibiotics and anticoagulation. But further work up revealed a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm causing the splanchnic vein thrombosis.
