Abstract
|
|
|
Myxoglobulosis is a rare morphologic variant of appendiceal mucocele. We
reported herein a case of myxoglobulosis in a 50-year-old man who presented
with an appendiceal mass following a several months symptomatic course.
Double contrast barium study showed filling defect in cecum. Computed
tomograph showed well defined tubular, cystic lesion with slight wall
enhancement at the appendiceal area. Laparotomy disclosed a distended
appendix, measuring 12.0×4.0 ㎝, without perforation containing white to
pale yellowish globules, reminiscent of parasitic eggs. Microscopically
globules are composed of centers of inflamed granulation tissue and
amorphous granular necrotic debris, surrounded by rings of inspissated
mucous shells. The wall shows devoid of a lining epithelium. We performed
ileocecectomy.
