TODO - Appendiceal tumors are rare, late diagnosed neoplasms that may not be differentiated from adnexal masses even by advanced imaging methods and other diagnostic  procedures. They may be asymptomatic and remain undiagnosed until surgery. We report  a case of an 80-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting with a pelvic mass and a  history of weight loss. The patient underwent laparotomy which revealed an  appendiceal mucocele, for which she received a full oncological procedure. The  histology report showed a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, and the patient  underwent six cycles of chemotherapy. Appendiceal tumors should be kept in mind in  patients with adnexal mass.
