Diverticulosis and sessile serrated adenomas of the colon are common findings on routine colonoscopy. However, diverticulosis of the appendix is rare and is usually only discovered due to conversion to diverticulitis or as an incidental finding. Diverticulitis of the appendix can present as appendicitis but is associated with more risks. A pathology report is important in diverticulosis of the appendix due to the association with malignancy. This case report reviews a 52-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with right lower quadrant pain who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and was incidentally found to have diverticulosis of the appendix with a sessile serrated adenoma.
结肠憩室病和无蒂锯齿状腺瘤是常规结肠镜检查中常见的发现。然而,阑尾憩室病很罕见,通常仅在转变为憩室炎或偶然发现时才被发现。阑尾憩室炎可表现为阑尾炎,但伴有更多风险。由于与恶性肿瘤相关,病理报告对阑尾憩室病很重要。本病例报告回顾了一名52岁女性,她因右下腹疼痛就诊于急诊科,被诊断为急性阑尾炎,并偶然发现患有阑尾憩室病伴无蒂锯齿状腺瘤。
