Appendiceal Neoplasm: It's Never What It Seems

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Appendiceal neoplasms are a rare and heterogeneous condition with a non-specific clinical presentation, often concealing intricate predicaments; hence they require complex and diverse management. The present case report aims not only to describe a less usual form of presentation and its orientation but also to provide a modest literature review in a rather demanding pathology.
