Abstract:
Low-grade mucinous tumors (MT) of the appendix are rare malignancies. One of the most formidable complications of these tumors is mucin depositing in the peritoneum with development of peritoneal pseudomyxoma. Currently, there are no single clinical - pathomorphological classification and treatment approach to these tumors. This situation is complicated by the fact that tumor of the appendix cannot be preoperatively suspected in many cases and MT is detected after appendectomy for acute appendicitis or its complications. Thus, prognosis of patients is deteriorated.
