An Incidental Discovery of Mucinous Cystadenoma of Undetermined Malignant Potential: Ileo- caecal junction cystic mass: A Case Report with Review of Literature
Akanksha Pandey, Prakash Roplekar, Sudhamani S

Mucinous cystadenoma of undetermined malignant potential of ileocaecal junction is an uncommon low-grade neoplasm that develops in 0.004-4% of all the appendectomies. It is characterized by submucosal tumour in the ileo- caecal region along with cystic mass with mucin collection involving muscularis propria. In later stage, it can lead to perforation/ spillage of the content in the peritoneal cavity causing pseudomyxoma peritonei. In our case, patient is a 55-year old, postmenopausal female who presented with caecal mass and progressive abdominal pain with recent history of laparoscopic appendicectomy done two months ago and histopathology report was given as fibromuscular structure. Exploratory laparotomy was done and we received specimen of caecum and part of ileum, after histopathological and other significant correlation, case was suggestive of “Mucinous Cystadenoma of Undetermined Malignant Potential- Ileo -caecal Junction Cystic mass”, a rare entity of probable appendiceal origin. Key words: Mucinous cystadenoma, cystic mass, ileo-caecal junction.
