• Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix (MAA) appears to be a biologically and histologically distinct entity from colorectal cancer and from colonic-type adenocarcinoma of the appendix.
• Management of MAA is dependent on the histologic type and the extent of disease at presentation, and is outlined in Fig. 3.
• The optimal therapy is complete surgical cytoreduction (defined as removal of all gross disease or reduction of tumor deposits to 2.5 mm in thickness) in combination with IP chemotherapy.
• Cytoreduction routinely involves complete omentectomy and right lower quadrant peritonectomy.
• Bilateral oophorectomy is also recommended, especially in postmenopausal women, as the ovaries are a frequent site of metastasis and recurrence if not removed.
