A 37-year-old man who presented with upper abdominal pain was diagnosed with acute appendicitis. He underwent an open appendicectomy. The intraoperative findings included only an acutely inflamed appendix. Histopathological examination of the appendix showed an incidental finding of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). This paper highlights the contributory factors that are assessed in the risk assessment of appendiceal GISTs. However, as these entities are rare, an accurate risk stratification and progression assessment tool has not been established yet.
一名37岁出现上腹部疼痛的男性被诊断为急性阑尾炎。他接受了开放性阑尾切除术。术中发现仅阑尾急性发炎。阑尾的组织病理学检查显示意外发现胃肠道间质瘤(GISTs)。本文强调了在阑尾GISTs风险评估中所评估的促成因素。然而,由于这些实体罕见,尚未建立准确的风险分层和进展评估工具。
