Resumen
Introduction: low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are an infrequent pathology, whose surgical management has varied in recent years. Methods: retrospective study of patients with anatomopathological diagnosis of low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms. Results: twenty-eight patients with a median age of 63 years were included. The main clinical presentation was acute appendicitis in 11 patients (39.3%). 35.7% were approached by laparoscopy. In 39,3% patients is described appendicular perforation and 25% present free mucus in the abdominal cavity. In 60,7% patients was performed an appendectomy, presenting the pathological study the border affected in 5 patients. In 4 of the 5 resection was extended, without evidence of residual disease. Conclusions: appendectomy is the recommended treatment in low grade mucinous neoplasms. If there borders are affected, treatment should be individualized, assessing follow-up as an option to be considered.
