Mucocele of the appendix is an uncommon entity infrequently diagnosed prior to surgery or autopsy. Patients may be asymptomatic or present with a palpable right lower quadrant mass and/or pain. Barium enema findings are nonspecific and include nonfilling of the appendix and occasionally mass impression on the cecum. When visualized, calcification of the rim of a right lower quadrant mass may aid in diagnosis. The sonographic appearance in two cases is presented and compared with that in three other case reports in the literature, illustrating a spectrum of sonographic findings. Differential diagnosis is discussed.
阑尾黏液囊肿是一种罕见的疾病，在手术或尸检前很少被诊断出来。患者可能无症状，或表现为右下腹可触及肿块和/或疼痛。钡剂灌肠检查结果无特异性，包括阑尾不显影，偶尔盲肠有肿块压迹。当观察到右下象限肿块边缘有钙化时，有助于诊断。本文介绍了两例的超声表现，并与文献中其他三篇病例报告进行了比较，展示了一系列超声检查结果。文中还讨论了鉴别诊断。
