“…They are hormonally inactive tumors without the symptoms associated with hormonal overproduction. The most common signs and symptoms are non-speci c and related to the size and location of the tumor and include pain, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, abnormal liver function test results, and bowel obstruction associated with intestinal metastases [13][14][15]. The unique feature of this case report is that the patient did not present with these non-speci c symptoms but had a clinical presentation of a mass in the right adnexal region and no abnormal preoperative laboratory ndings, hence the initial diagnosis of ovarian cancer.…”

Background: We report a rare case of a 52-year-old woman with an initial diagnosis of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the ovary and a final finding of metastatic mixed gonadal neuroendocrine carcinoma of the appendix. Case presentation: A 52-year-old Chinese woman was found to have a mass in the right adnexal region during a physical examination. She underwent a first exploratory laparotomy and had her right adnexa and part of her left ovary removed. Eighteen months later, the left adnexal mass recurred and she underwent a repeat exploratory laparotomy and total hysterectomy, left adnexa, greater omentum, appendectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. Conclusions: Mixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinoma of appendix is a rare condition. Often, postoperative pathology is required for diagnosis. The case reported here demonstrates that mixed glandular neuroendocrine carcinoma of the appendix can take the form of ovarian cancer, which can be misdiagnosed, and should therefore be differentiated from mixed adeno-neuroendocrine carcinoma of the appendix by gynaecologists when they encounter cases of ovarian cancer.

“…Primary neoplasms are uncommon, being found in less than 1% of appendectomies, and they account for about 0.4-1% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms 13 . The majority are benign, or require no other treatment than appendectomy, and some are incidental [14][15][16] . Nevertheless, malignant and semi-malignant tumours exist.…”
