We report an uncommon case that initially presented as acute appendicitis, for which a final diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma was made. In comparison with other B-cell lymphomas, mantle cell lymphoma has a poorer prognosis, and positive immunochemical staining of cyclin D1 and SOX-11 is useful for differentiating mantle cell lymphoma from other appendiceal lymphomas and treating patients appropriately. Physicians and nursing staff should be also aware of the associated complications and management in these patients.
