Appendix is one of the most common organs harboring intra-abdominal pathologies both in acute and chronic settings. Appendiceal diseases in elderly population is hard to differentiate owing to the age related changes and wide spectrum of differential diagnosis. Even uncomplicated diseases of the appendix can have features mimicking a neoplasm. Here we present two cases of appendiceal masses. First case presented with symptoms and findings of an invasive neoplasm and the second case had findings of a pelvic mass. Both cases were treated successfully.
阑尾是急性和慢性情况下腹腔内病变最常累及的器官之一。由于与年龄相关的变化以及鉴别诊断范围广泛,老年人群的阑尾疾病很难鉴别。即使是阑尾的非复杂性疾病也可能具有类似肿瘤的特征。在此,我们报告两例阑尾肿物病例。第一例表现为侵袭性肿瘤的症状和体征,第二例表现为盆腔肿物的体征。两例均成功治愈。
