Core Tip Acellular mucin in both neoplastic and non-neoplastic lower gastrointestinal tract conditions may complicate diagnosis, prognostication and management. In colorectal and appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, it plays a role in tumor classification and staging. In non-neoplastic conditions, the presence of acellular mucin and related epithelial changes may mimic neoplasm and lead to additional work-up. This review highlights the diagnostic and prognostic implications of acellular mucin in neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions, emphasizing the need for standardized approaches to improve pathological interpretation and management.
