This is a report about a patient admitted to hospital because of acute abdominal pain. Based on the clinic and para-clinic studies it was carried out an intervention taking into consideration the preoperative diagnosis of non-specified acute appendicitis. Exploratory laparotomy showed the appendix as having signs of inflammation and a marked distension. The histopathological study reports an appendiceal mucinous cystadenoma. This issued is checked since it is a rare cystic neoplasm of vermiform appendix, with low probability of preoperative diagnosis and likely to cause serious problems which sometimes stem from an inadequate surgical management, like peritoneal pseudomyxoma.
