Abstract

Mucocele is an uncommon pathology of the vermiform appendix that can be confused with acute appendicitis. We present a case of an appendiceal mucocele associated with subacute, intermittent right lower quadrant discomfort. The diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele is an important one in that it can be associated with malignancies and other serious gastrointestinal, ovarian, and urological complications.

摘要

黏液囊肿是阑尾的一种罕见病变，可与急性阑尾炎相混淆。我们报告一例阑尾黏液囊肿病例，患者伴有亚急性、间歇性右下腹不适。阑尾黏液囊肿的诊断很重要，因为它可能与恶性肿瘤以及其他严重的胃肠道、卵巢和泌尿系统并发症相关。
