  2. A brief history • Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms have a checkered and confusing past • Appendiceal mucocoele was first described by Rokitansky in 1842 • Mucinous cystadenoma was the preferred term in the 1950s to 1980s • The “uncertain malignant potential” of these lesions was first raised by Norman Carr et al, in 1995 to reflect the uncertain behaviour of cases with mucin dissecting the wall of the appendix or in cases with rupture

  3. Further progress • Over the last 20 years there has been a lot of progress in better characterising appendiceal mucinous neoplasms • Lots of papers, sometimes contradictory • However a much clearer picture is now emerging from the literature

  4. Some of the landmark papers • Young et al; AJSP 1991 15:415-429 • Carr et al; Cancer 1995 75:757-768 • Misdraji et al; AJSP 2003 27(8):1089-1103 • Pai et al; AJSP 2009 33(10):1425-1439

  5. What are the major issues? • In actual fact there is only one issue we are trying to resolve: Is there a risk of recurrence as pseudomyxoma peritonei? How great is the risk?

  6. Where are we now? • Earlier this year this paper was published in AJSP • This is a very useful consensus statement and provides lots of helpful guidelines and checklists for diagnosing appendiceal lesions (and pseudomyxoma peritonei)

  7. Back to the beginning - What are the common epithelial lesions of the appendix? • Conventional adenomas • Serrated polyps • LAMNs • HAMNs – not common

  8. Conventional adenoma or serrated polyp • Use the same definitions as for the colorectum • The key is the muscularis mucosa has to be intact (with a few provisos to follow)

  9. Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms • Defined as a mucinous neoplasm with low grade cytologic atypia and ANY of: 1. Loss of muscularis mucosae 2. Fibrosis of submucosa 3. ‘Pushing invasion’ ( expansile or diverticulum- like) 4. Dissection of acellular mucin in the wall (what about cellular mucin?) 5. Undulating or flattened epithelial growth 6. Rupture of the appendix 7. Mucin and/or cells outside the appendix

  10. High grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms • Same as above except the cytology is high grade

  11. Mucinous adenocarcinoma • Conventional type • Signet ring cell (must exclude a goblet cell carcinoid)

  12. Approach to the LAMN • Ideally this begins at the cut-up - for any unusually dilated appendix, encourage the registrar to stop and think ‘could this be a LAMN?’ - careful macroscopic assessment (in particular is there any evidence of rupture? Any mucin on the serosal surface? Any diverticula?) - entirely embed the specimen - know what to look for histologically

  13. Scenario one – the lesion with intact muscularis mucosa • Very easy • This is probably not a LAMN • It is usually either a conventional adenoma or (more often) a serrated polyp of the appendix • Provided the base is clear, it is adequately treated by appendicectomy • Examples to follow

  14. Scenario two – the lesion with no muscularis mucosa but confined to the appendix • This is almost always a LAMN • Rarely a HAMN (high grade) • Rarely an adenocarcinoma (infiltrative, desmoplastic) • If it is a LAMN it has effectively no risk of recurrence • These cases can incite some anxiety, especially if there is mucin (especially cellular mucin) getting deep into the wall of the appendix • As long as it is all embedded and it doesn’t get to the serosal surface it is okay

  15. Scenario 3a – Acellular mucin breaches the serosal surface • This is still a LAMN • These lesions have a remarkably limited risk of recurrence as PMP • These lesions incite a great deal of anxiety (is there epithelium around that is just hiding a few more microns into the block? Did the surgeon have a good look around the peritoneal cavity?) • All we can do is report what is in front of us

  16. Scenario 3b – Cellular mucin breaches the serosal surface • This is still a LAMN • This lesion has a substantial risk of recurrence as PMP • The concept of confined to the right lower quadrant is being abandoned (thankfully) because the more recent reports are that these cases still have a high risk of recurrence (although the number of cases studied is small)

  17. Risk of progression from different series Progression of acellular mucin to Progression of cellular Study PMP Follow up mucin to PMP Higa 0/7 (0%) 3-6 years* 4 /7 (57%) Qizilba sh 0/6 (0%) ? ? Carr 0/14 (0%) ≤ 11 years ? Pai 1/12 (8%) 2-14 years 3 /4 (75%) Young 1/5 (20%) 1-8 years 8 /12 (75%) Yantiss 2/50 (4%) 0.5-15 years 5/15 (33%)

  18. What constitutes adequate treatment for these lesions? • If there is no extra-appendiceal mucin evident to the surgeon then many will stop at appendicectomy • Four scenario 3b many would offer right hemicolectomy but there may not be any benefit to this strategy • Watchful waiting is often all that can be done

  19. Demonstrative cases

  20. Case 1 (E12-08828) • Female • 45 years • Incidental detection of abnormal appendix by CT scan for abdominal pain

  21. Case 2 (E12-31287) • Female • 82 years • No history given

  22. Case 3 (E12-32019) • Male • 60 years old • No history

  23. Case 4 (E13-32575) • Female • 76 years old • No history

  24. Case 5 (E14-31343) • Male • 75 years old • No history

  25. Case 5 • Recurred one year later as acellular mucin • No free mucin seen at time of appendicectomy • Multiple levels and no epithelium • ?Must assume that it is sampling error

  26. Case 6 (E15-12565) • Female • 77 years old • No history

  27. Case 7 (E14-35559) • Female • 62 years • No history

  28. Case 7 • Massive recurrence at one year
