Appendiceal tumors are rare, late diagnosed neoplasms that may not be differentiated from adnexal masses even by advanced imaging methods and other diagnostic procedures. They may be asymptomatic and remain undiagnosed until surgery. We report a case of an 80-year-old postmenopausal woman presenting with a pelvic mass and a history of weight loss. The patient underwent laparotomy which revealed an appendiceal mucocele, for which she received a full oncological procedure. The histology report showed a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, and the patient underwent six cycles of chemotherapy. Appendiceal tumors should be kept in mind in patients with adnexal mass.
阑尾肿瘤是罕见的、诊断较晚的肿瘤，即使采用先进的影像学方法和其他诊断程序，也可能无法与附件肿块相鉴别。它们可能无症状，直到手术时才被发现。我们报告一例80岁绝经后女性，表现为盆腔肿块并有体重减轻史。患者接受了剖腹手术，术中发现阑尾黏液囊肿，并接受了完整的肿瘤治疗程序。组织学报告显示为低级别阑尾黏液性肿瘤，患者接受了六个周期的化疗。对于附件肿块患者，应考虑到阑尾肿瘤的可能性。
