Abstract

Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency in the United States. However, unusual causes of appendicitis need to be considered in patients with significant co-morbidities like our patient with history of prostate cancer. Cases of acute appendicitis due to metastatic prostate cancer are rare, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of a 72 year old male with a history of metastatic prostate cancer that caused acute appendicitis prompting surgical intervention.

摘要

急性阑尾炎是美国最常见的外科急症。然而，对于像我们这位有前列腺癌病史的患者这样有严重合并症的患者，需要考虑阑尾炎的不寻常病因。由转移性前列腺癌导致的急性阑尾炎病例很罕见，文献中仅报道了少数病例。我们报告一例72岁男性患者，其有转移性前列腺癌病史，该病史导致急性阑尾炎，促使进行手术干预。
