To review the diagnostic examination and clinical presentation of mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix.
Case report from experience at an Air Force tertiary care hospital in a 66-year-old woman with chronic right lower quadrant pain.
After extensive preoperative evaluation and subsequent diagnostic laparoscopy, a right hemicolectomy was performed for a mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix.
Appendiceal mucinous cystadenoma is a rare entity found in only 0.3% of appendiceal specimens. Preoperative evaluation with radiologic and endoscopic methods is helpful but not always diagnostic. Although a benign disease process, complications from rupture, invasion into adjacent organs, or recurrence warrant adherence to strict oncologic principles for resection.
回顾阑尾黏液性囊腺瘤的诊断检查及临床表现。
来自一家空军三级护理医院的病例报告，患者为一名66岁慢性右下腹疼痛的女性。
经过广泛的术前评估及随后的诊断性腹腔镜检查，对阑尾黏液性囊腺瘤实施了右半结肠切除术。
阑尾黏液性囊腺瘤是一种罕见疾病，仅在0.3%的阑尾标本中发现。采用放射学和内镜方法进行术前评估有帮助，但并非总能确诊。尽管是良性病程，但破裂、侵犯邻近器官或复发引起的并发症需要遵循严格的肿瘤学切除原则。
