Appendicitis is a common cause of right lower quadrant pain. However, appropriate diagnostic evaluation and a high clinical suspicion can reveal alternative etiologies that are not so commonly encountered. In this report, we present a rare case of an appendiceal collision tumor involving two distinct neoplasms as the source of the patient's pain and describe how thoughtful clinical maneuvering led to its diagnosis and treatment.
阑尾炎是右下象限疼痛的常见原因。然而,适当的诊断评估和高度的临床怀疑能够揭示一些不太常见的其他病因。在本报告中,我们呈现了一例罕见的阑尾碰撞肿瘤病例,该肿瘤涉及两种不同的肿瘤,是患者疼痛的根源,并描述了经过深思熟虑的临床操作是如何促成其诊断和治疗的。
