A 63-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with suspected appendicitis. Abdominal CT revealed an enlarged appendix, and findings consistent with some small nodules. She was diagnosed with appendicitis and successfully treated with antibiotics. Contrast-enhanced CT performed 2 months after discharge revealed a reduction in small nodules, and tumor markers were not elevated. Therefore, we concluded that this case was unlikely to be an appendiceal tumor. Interval appendectomy was performed laparoscopically, and histopathological analysis revealed a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm(LAMN). Herein, we present this case and review the relevant literature.
一名63岁女性因疑似阑尾炎入院。腹部CT显示阑尾肿大，并发现一些小结节。她被诊断为阑尾炎，并成功接受了抗生素治疗。出院2个月后进行的增强CT显示小结节减少，肿瘤标志物未升高。因此，我们得出结论，该病例不太可能是阑尾肿瘤。随后进行了腹腔镜间隔阑尾切除术，组织病理学分析显示为低级别阑尾黏液性肿瘤（LAMN）。在此，我们报告该病例并复习相关文献。
