However, most of them are presenting with acute appendicitis due to obstruction of the appendix by the tumor, or present with malignancy complications like pseudomixuma peritonei; the rest of diagnosed cases are the result of serendipitous finding in imaging studies or discovered during laparotomy or laparoscopy because of the cancer complications, a number of appendiceal cancers misdiagnosed as ovarian malignancies.
