OBJECTIVE: The preoperative diagnosis of a primary appendiceal tumor can be difficult because of its rarity and the paucity of material in the radiology literature. The purpose of this study was to describe CT findings in six patients with primary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the appendix. CONCLUSION: When CT reveals a cystic mass with enhancing wall nodularity in the expected area of the appendix, especially in older patients, the possibility of primary mucinous cystadenocarcinoma should be considered.
