    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Primary smooth muscle tumors of the appendix, including leiomyoma and leiomyosarcoma, are exceptionally uncommon.
    • Diagnosis typically relies on histopathologic examination.

    Observation:

    • This case report describes the largest known leiomyoma originating in the appendix.

    Findings:

    • The appendix leiomyoma presented as a significant mass.
    • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the extreme rarity of appendiceal leiomyomas.
    • Contributes to the literature on gastrointestinal smooth muscle tumors.
    • Underscores the importance of thorough histopathologic evaluation for appendiceal lesions.
