We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who was diagnosed to have adenocarcinoma of the caecum based on the clinical, radiological, histopathological and intraoperative findings. However, postoperative histopathology showed only features of xanthogranulomatous inflammation without any evidence of malignancy. This benign chronic inflammatory condition could present as a histological surprise. It is important for both surgeons and pathologists alike to be aware of this.
我们报告一例34岁女性病例,根据临床、影像学、组织病理学及术中检查结果,该患者被诊断为盲肠腺癌。然而,术后组织病理学检查仅显示黄色肉芽肿性炎症特征,未发现任何恶性肿瘤证据。这种良性慢性炎症状态可能会在组织学检查时带来意外发现。外科医生和病理学家都有必要了解这一点。
