Appendicular tumor pathology has an incidence of less than 0.5% of all gastrointestinal tumors, being a rare condition, an analysis of the clinical and imaging data and the management of the pathology is detailed. We present the case of a 25-year-old female patient who consulted for long-standing abdominal pain located in the right iliac fossa. Physical examination revealed a painful abdomen on superficial and deep palpation in the right iliac fossa, with no signs of peritoneal irritation. In the complementary examinations; the simple and contrasted tomography of abdomen and pelvis evidences a tubular image, hypodense that begins from the base of the cecum with an approximate caliber of 29 mm, in relation to appendicular mucocele. Surgical management was decided, performing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, without any complications. The histopathological report of the sample sent concluded low grade appendicular mucinous neoplasia. The patient showed a satisfactory postoperative evolution and was discharged the day after surgery.
