Appendicealmucocele: A case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: The appendicealmucocele[AM] is a rare disorder. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult due to nonspecific clinical manifestations. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and colonoscopy can suggest the diagnosis. Treatment is always surgical and depends on the integrity, size of base and on histological type of original lesion of appendix. Preoperative diagnosis is importent to avoid intra-operative and post-operative complications. If mucocele is treated incorrectly pseudomyxomaperitonei, which is characterized by malignant process and has very poor prognosis, may develop. We report a case of a 42-years-old man who was admitted to the surgery department with abdominal lump in right lower quadrant. Only appendectomy was done. Hystopathological diagnosis was mucinous cystadenoma. Keywords: appendix, mucocele, mucinous cystadenoma, surgical treatment
