Abstract

Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is rare disease, and the absence of characteristic clinical symptoms makes preoperative diagnosis difficult. The strategy of treatment for LAMN has not been established. Surgical approach and lymph node (LN) dissection are still controversial. We herein present a case of LAMN with difficulties in making the preoperative diagnosis, which exhibited invagination and was treated by laparoscopy-assisted ileocecal resection with LN dissection. When cystic mass is detected in the bowel, LAMN or mucinous adenocarcinoma should be considered as a different diagnosis. And the laparoscopy-assisted ileocecal resection is a feasible operation for LAMN with careful procedure.
