LAMN2 WHAT EXACTLY IS IT 

  • LAMN - low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm.
    Neoplasm - abnormal growth of tissue that doesn't die when it should.

    LAMN 1 is when the neoplasm is contained within the appendix without any evidence of rupture.

    LAMN 2 is when the neoplasm within the appendix has generated enough mucin to cause the appendix to rupture - although the amount of mucin outside the appendix is only visible microscopically.
