TL;DR
This case report highlights the complexity of appendiceal neoplasms, which are rare and difficult to diagnose due to their non-specific symptoms.
Contribution
The paper contributes a case report with a less common presentation and a literature review on a challenging pathology.
Findings
Appendiceal neoplasms have non-specific clinical presentations.
The case report describes a less usual form of presentation.
A literature review is provided to aid in understanding this complex pathology.
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.
