Abstract

Mucocel is a rare pathological lesion of appendix. It is characterized with cystic dilatation caused by mucus stasis in the appendiceal lumen. Usually they are asymptomatic. Generally diagnosis can be made during intraoperative observation or postoperatively histopathologicaly. We aimed to present a case that laparotomy had been performed in whom imaging techniques revealed a cystic mass over the right lower abdominal quadrant with smooth contours, and high carcinoembrionic antigen (CEA) levels suggesting right over malignancy. Right hemicolectomy was performed and postoperatively histopathological examination showed mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix.

Özet

Mukosel; apendiksin nadir bir patolojik lezyonudur. Apendiks lümeni içerisinde mukus stazına bağlı meydana gelen kistik dilatasyon ile karakterizedir. Genellikle asemptomatiktir. Tanı genellikle ameliyat sırasında gözlem veya ameliyat sonrası dönemde histopatolojik olarak konulur. Görüntüleme yöntemleriyle sağ over ile yakın komşuluk gösteren düzgün konturlu, kistik bir kitle ve yüksek karsinoembriyojenik antijen (CEA) düzeyi nedeniyle sağ over kaynaklı malignite düşünülerek laparotomi yapılan, sağ hemikolektomi ile tedavi edilen ve ameliyat sonrası histopatolojik inceleme sonucu müsinöz kistadenom tanısı konulan olguyu sunmayı amaçladık.
