A 78-years-old man presented with right lower quadrant pain for 2 months. Computed tomography revealed an irregular and multicystic mass near the cecum like as appedeceal mucocle. The lesion was diagnosed xanthogranulomatous appendicitis by histopathological findings of surgical specimen. Xanthogranuloma is uncommon disease, especially in the appendix. We report an interesting case of xanthogranulomatous appendicitis mimicking appendiceal mucocele in radiological images.
一名78岁男性因右下象限疼痛2个月前来就诊。计算机断层扫描显示盲肠附近有一个不规则的多囊性肿块，类似阑尾黏液囊肿。通过手术标本的组织病理学检查结果，该病变被诊断为黄色肉芽肿性阑尾炎。黄色肉芽肿是一种罕见疾病，尤其是在阑尾中。我们报告了一例在影像学图像上表现类似阑尾黏液囊肿的黄色肉芽肿性阑尾炎的有趣病例。
