RESUMO
The initial presentation of a mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix can be a peri-appendicular abscess. The abdominal wall muscles can be invaded during radiological or surgical drainage. The management of such a tumour is complex. The resection of a drainage route can be uncertain and R1. In this case, further treatment with adjuvant radiotherapy may be necessary. One possible deleterious side effect of radiotherapy on the abdominal wall is radiation injury to the bowel. As a preventive measure, a spacer (here a breast prosthesis) can be interposed.
