[Myxoglobulosis of the cecal appendix].

We report a case of mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix with myxoglobulosis associated to cecal adenocarcinoma. Appendiceal myxoglobulosis present typical gross and microscopical findings. The clinical diagnosis of myxoglobulosis should be followed by a careful evaluation of the patient in order to detect an appendicular neoplasm and/or an assoiciated occult intestinal carcinoma.
