ABSTRACT
Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are rare and can be associated with the development of disseminated peritoneal disease known as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). Mucinous tumours identified on appendicectomy are therefore followed up to assess for recurrence and the development of PMP. In addition, individuals who initially present with PMP and are treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) are followed up to assess for recurrence. However, despite the concerted efforts of multiple expert groups, the optimal imaging follow-up protocol is yet to be established. The purpose of this article is to review the available evidence for imaging surveillance in these populations to identify the optimum post-resection imaging follow-up protocol.
