Abstract

Mucocele of the appendix secondary to endometriosis is extremely rare situation. Most of the patients are asymptomatic in mucocele of appendix and appendiceal endometriosis, but they usually present acute appendicitis-like symptoms. Mucocele may be associated with either benign or malignant process. Simple mucocele of the appendix is caused by a variety of obstructive lesions such as postinflamation, fecaliths and endometriosis. The rupture of mucocele may lead to development of pseudomyxoma peritonei. Treatment is variable, extending from simple appendectomy to more aggressive therapies. In this case we present a simple mucocele of appendix secondary to endometriosis of the appendix.

Özet

Endometriozise sekonder gelişen apendiks mukoseli oldukça nadir bir durumdur. Mukosel ve endometriozis gibi hastalıklarda hastaların çoğu asemptomatik olup akut appendisit benzeri semptomlarla prezente olurlar. Mukosel benign ya da malign durumlardan biriyle birliktelik gösterebilir. Appendiksin basit mukoseli postinfllamatuvar, fekalitler ve endometriozis gibi çok çeşitli obstruktif lezyonlar nedeniyle oluşabilir. Mukoselin rupture olması peritoneal psodomiksomatozis gelişimine neden olabilir. Tedavi, basit appendektomiden daha agresif tedavilere kadar uzananan bir yelpazede değişkenlik gösterir. Bu vakada appendiks endometriozisi nedeniyle gelişen bir basit appendiks mukoseli sunulmuştur.
