Laparoscopic Resection of an Appendix Mucocele in a Breast Cancer Patient

Case Reports in Surgery, 2018
Background. Acute appendicitis may be treated with antibiotics, but most surgeons offer laparoscopic appendectomy (LA). Appendiceal mucocele (AMC) is a rare disorder. Surgical removal is recommended due to the risk of pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Molecular Profiling of Low‐Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasms (LAMN)

Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Low‐grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasia (LAMN) represents a relatively rare tumor of the appendix typically diagnosed incidentally through appendectomy for acute appendicitis. In cases where perforation occurs, mucinous content may disseminate into the abdominal cavity, leading to the development of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP).

Exercise capacity prior to major cancer surgery: A cross‐sectional observational study of the validity of the 6‐minute walk and 30‐second sit‐to‐stand tests

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 497-506, August 2024.
Both the 6‐min walk test (6MWT) and the 30‐s sit‐to‐stand (30STS) test may be utilized as screening tests to assess exercise capacity preoperatively in patients with cancer where cardiopulmonary exercise testing availability is limited. The optimal cut points to identify VO2peak < 15 mL/kg/min were 493.5 m (6MWT) and 12.5 stands (30STS test) and for AT

Pseudomyxoma peritonei – two novel orthotopic mouse models portray the PMCA-I histopathologic subtype [PDF]

, 2007
Background Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare malignant disease, most commonly originating from appendiceal lesions and characterized by accumulation of mucinous tumor tissue in the peritoneal cavity.

Laparoscopic Cytoreductive Surgery and HIPEC in Patients with Limited Pseudomyxoma Peritonei of Appendiceal Origin [PDF]

, 2012
Introduction. Increasing numbers of patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) of appendiceal origin are being evaluated with a low tumor burden. We explored a minimally invasive approach for this group of patients. Materials and Methods.

Intrasplenic metastasis of appendiceal low-grade mucinous neoplasm – A case report and review of the literature

Current Problems in Cancer: Case Reports
Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) may lead to pseudomyxoma peritonei and require specialized surgical therapy. By pathological definition, these tumor entities exhibit neither invasive growth nor develop systemic or lymph node metastases ...
