Abstract
Herein, we describe primary appendiceal adenocarcinoma (AACa) mimicking the manifestations of ovarian malignancies. A 55-year-old woman with clinical findings of ovarian cancer underwent laparatomy in which an appendiceal tumor was encountered. Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, appendectomy, right hemicolectomy and omentectomy were performed. The final histopathological result demonstrated mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring epithelial cells. Therefore, AACa should be kept in mind by gynecological surgeons in the differential diagnosis of ovarian malignancies, since the therapeutic approaches differ from each other.

Abstract
Bu yazıda ovaryan malignansi bulgularını taklit eden bir primer appendisiyal adenokarsinoma olgusu sulunmaktadır. Over kanseri klinik bulgularına sahip 55 yaşındaki bir kadın hastaya yapılan laparatomide appendisiyal tümör ile karşılaşıldı. Total abdominal histerektomi, bilateral salpingo-ooferektomi, appendektomi, sağ hemikolektomi ve omentektomi uygulandı. Histopatolojik sonç taşlı yüzük epitelyal hücreli musinöz adenokarsinom olarak rapor edildi. Appendisiyal adenokarsinom, farklı terapötik yaklaşım içermesi nedeniyle ovaryan malignansilerin ayırıcı tanısında akılda tutulmalıdır.
