She had the diagnosis of neurofibromatosis type 1, also known as von Recklinghausen’s disease, one of the most frequent autosomal dominant diseases in humans, which will be the focus of this review. The typical skin manifestations of neurofibromatosis are characterized by the presence of neurofibromas and cafe au lait spots. Here we discuss the importance of diagnosing this hereditary disease in order to deliver genetic counseling and information to the carriers and their families.

Its main clinical presentation is acute or chronic pain in the right iliac fossa, which may mimic acute appendicitis or inflammatory bowel disease. In the transoperative stage its aspect may be mistaken for malignant neoplasm. The case reported here describes an elderly patient with picture of acute pain in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen, submitted to exploratory laparotomy due to suspected acute appendicitis. In the transoperative stage right ileocolectomy was performed because of suspicion of a malignant neoplastic process, but the anatomicopathological examination showed mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix.

Sua principal apresentação clínica é dor em fossa ilíaca direita aguda ou crônica, podendomimetizar apendicite aguda ou doença inflamatória intestinal. No transoperatório seu aspecto pode ser confundido com neoplasia maligna. O caso relatado descreve uma paciente idosa com quadro agudo de dor em quadrante inferior direito do abdome, submetida à laparotomia exploradora devido à hipótese de apendicite aguda. No transoperatório,foi realizada íleo-colectomia direita, pela suspeita de se tratar de um processo neoplásico maligno, mas o exame anatomopatológico evidenciou cistoadenoma mucinoso de apêndice.
