Malignant tumors of the appendix are extremely rare, constituting about 1% of all gastrointestinal tumors. Generally, pathology identifies these tumors during or after appendectomy because they are difficult to detect at the preoperative stage. This case report aims to introduce the definitive diagnosis and treatment of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix.
