An appendiceal mass is the end result of a walled-off appendiceal perforation and represents a pathological spectrum ranging from phlegmon to abscess. Over the past decade, improved imaging and interventional radiological techniques have allowed a more accurate definition of pathology and thus a more specific and less invasive management than was previously possible. A management policy should be possible that allows over 80 per cent of patients presenting with an appendiceal mass to be safely spared an open operation.
阑尾包块是阑尾穿孔被包裹后的最终结果，代表了从蜂窝织炎到脓肿的一系列病理情况。在过去十年中，影像学和介入放射技术的进步使得对病理的定义更加准确，从而实现了比以往更具特异性且侵入性更小的治疗。应该制定一种治疗策略，使超过80%出现阑尾包块的患者能够安全地避免开腹手术。
