Summary:Appendiceal tumors and pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) are rare tumors. Perforated epithelial tumors of the appendix are the most common source of PMP. This disease is characterized by the presence of mucin of varying degrees of consistency, partially adherent to the surfaces. Appendiceal mucoceles themselves are also very rare and usually their treatment involves only a simple appendectomy. The aim of this study was to provide an up-to-date review of the recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of these malignancies according to the current guidelines of The Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) and the Blue Book of the Czech Society for Oncology of the Czech Medical Association of J. E. Purkyně (ČOS ČLS JEP).
