Abstract
|
|
|
Mucocele of the appendix is an uncommon disorder, occurring in only 0.2 to 0.3 percent of appendectomy materials. Appendiceal mucocele is the gross enlargement of appendix caused by accumulation of mucus within the appendiceal lumen. It usually found incidentally during ultrasonography or radiographic studies. The presentation of appendiceal mucocele is quite variable. The most common presentation is right lower quadrant pain. Other rare presentations include intestinal intussusception, torsion, ureteral obstruction, and hematuria. Currently, mucoceles of the appendix can be divided pathologically into three major categories: (1) mucosal hyperplasia, (2) mucinous cystadenoma, (3) mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. In case of mucinous adenocarcinoma, more extended radical resection is needed.
We report a case of laparoscopic ileocecectomy for mucocele of appendix.
