“…An acute appendicitis-like presentation with right lower quadrant pain is common for early stage disease, as opposed to advanced-stage symptoms like chronic abdominal pain, urinary retention, constipation and new-onset umbilical or inguinal hernias because of increased abdominal pressure [ 7 , 8 ]. Ileocecal/ileocolic intussusception is an extremely rare associated condition with few reported cases [ 10 ]. This patient’s presentation was characterized by early and advanced-stage symptoms, with evidence of appendicular infection and bowel obstruction, without the accumulation of mucinous ascites in the peritoneum.…”

We report the rare case of a giant low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN), presenting as ileocecal intussusception. An 80-year-old woman presented in the emergency department of our institution with progressively worsening diffuse abdominal pain during the last 24 h. A CT scan revealed a giant abdominal mass (98.7 × 127.3 × 107.6 mm) with air-fluid level and imaging characteristics of ileocecal intussusception. An emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed, and a well-circumscribed cystic mass deriving from the appendix was found. A right hemicolectomy was performed, and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of LAMN. This report aims to raise awareness among surgeons and radiologists, about LAMNs as a differential diagnosis of right iliac fossa masses presenting as acute abdomen.
