Appendiceal Mucocele is a condition where luminal distention occurs due to mucin accumulation within the appendiceal lumen. This usually results from either benign epithelial proliferation such as; hyperplasia and Lowe-Grade Mucinous Neoplasm or malignant as: cystadenocarcinoma

Abstract Appendicitis involving the appendix stump is a recognised post appendicectomy complication but same appendiceal tip rare. Similarly, abdominal wall abscess secondary to retained appendicolith also infrequently encountered. Our case highlights rare combination of both complications arising separately. A 29-year-old man presented with 3 days generalised malaise and progressively worsenin...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk factors for appendiceal involvement in women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who underwent appendectomy at the time of initial surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with a final diagnosis of EOC who underwent appendectomy at the time of initial surgery were evaluated retrospectively. Risk factors related to the presence of appendiceal involvement were anal...

Appendiceal cystadenoma, the most common type of what has been generally termed 'mucocele' of the appendix, has unique clinical characteristics. In this study, three similar clinical manifestations of appendiceal cystadenoma are presented, with different subsequent management and diverse prognostic outcomes relating to the characteristics of the disease, the wishes of the patients, the medical ...

Dropped appendicolith following an appendectomy is a rare complication which may occur as consequence ofappendicolith expulsion from the appendix due to previous perforation or failure identify appendicolith. A fecalith generally becomes symptomatic over time, result of abscess formation, intestinal obstruction, fistula tract orinflammation appendiceal stump. Two cases dropped are described her...

Primary appendiceal mucinous lesions are uncommon and represent a spectrum from nonneoplastic mucous retention cysts to invasive adenocarcinoma. Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) represent an intermediate category on this spectrum and can be classified according to whether or not they are confined to the appendix. Although LAMNs are frequently confined to the appendix, they can a...
