I'm 39 years old and was diagnosed with mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix in February 2005.
These cases are usually associated with primary well-differentiated mucinous adenocarcinomas of the appendix.
In some cases the primary tumor in the appendix can be quite inconspicuous in the context of abundant mucinous peritoneal tumor.
SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas are being recognized with increasing frequency.
