Abstract:
Malignant tumors of the appendix are rare. They are present in 0.1% to 0.5% of appendectomy
specimens: confirmed upon histological analysis. Mixed tumors in the appendix are exceptional.
We report a mixed mucinous cystadenoma with a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of
the appendix in a 64-year-old patient presented to the emergency room with bowel obstruction
syndrome.
