A 66 year old Japanese female was admitted to our department for the examination and treatment of a mass in the cecum. She had experienced no symptoms or signs other than a positive test result for fecal occult blood. The mass in the cecum was confirmed by barium enema, colonofiberscopy and CT scanning. The presumptive diagnosis was a submucosal tumor of the cecum, however, a laparotomy subsequently revealed intussusception of an appendiceal mass. An ileocaecal resection with an ileocolic anastomosis was therefore performed and the mass was histologically diagnosed as a mucocele of the appendix. This patient is only the 24th case of intussusception of a mucocele of the appendix to be reported in Japan. A review of the available literature on this condition follows the case report.
一名66岁的日本女性因盲肠肿物入院接受检查和治疗。除粪便潜血试验呈阳性外，她没有其他症状或体征。通过钡剂灌肠、结肠镜检查和CT扫描确诊了盲肠肿物。初步诊断为盲肠黏膜下肿瘤，然而，剖腹手术随后发现是阑尾肿物套叠。因此进行了回盲部切除及回结肠吻合术，肿物经组织学诊断为阑尾黏液囊肿。该患者是日本报道的第24例阑尾黏液囊肿套叠病例。病例报告之后是对有关该病症现有文献的综述。
