Abstract
Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm is a rare entity that commonly presents with appendicitis-like symptoms. Cecal volvulus is a rare complication of this disease, but often requires urgent surgical intervention due to high ischemia rate. Here, we present a case of cecal volvulus caused by appendiceal mucinous neoplasm which represents an uncommon clinical finding of a rare entity.
