Abstract

Appendiceal malignancies are rare clinic entities. The clinical presentation of appendiceal malignancies is often atypical. Acute abdominal pain and acute appendicitis, which requires early surgical intervention, are the most common clinical presentations of appendiceal malignancies. In this case report, an adenocarcinoma of the appendix in a 64-year-old male from a nursing home has been presented. He had right lower quadrant pain for the last 5 days. On physical examination, he had significant guarding. Intravenous contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic tomography revealed no pathological features. Laparotomy under general anesthesia was scheduled. During exploration, a perforated appendicitis was observed. Formal appendectomy was performed. The patient was lost due to pneumonia and septic shock 5 days after surgical intervention. In addition, the natural history of the disease and its basic diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are discussed. Preoperative or intraoperative diagnosis may not be available for some patients. Thus, routine histopathological examination is essential for adequate diagnosis and treatment.

Özet

Apendiks kökenli maligniteler oldukça ender görülen durumlardır. Apendiks kökenli malignitelerin klinik prezantasyonu genellikle atipiktir. Akut abdominal ağrı ve akut apandisit apendiks malignitelerinin en sık klinik başvuru şeklidir. Bu vaka sunumunda 64 yaşında apendiks adenokarsinomalı bir bakım evi hastası sunulmuştur. Hasta son 5 gündür karın sağ alt kadrana lokalize karın ağrısı şikayetiyle acil servise başvurdu. Fizik muayenede karın sağ alt kadranda lokalize peritonit bulguları mevcuttu. İntravenöz kontrastlı abdominopelvik tomografide herhangi bir patoloji saptanmadığı rapor edildi. Hastaya genel anestezi altında laparotomi yapıldı. Laparotomide perfore apandisit saptandı ve hastaya formal apendektomi yapıldı. Hasta cerrahi girişim sonrası beşinci günde pnömoni ve septik şok nedeniyle kaybedildi. Histopatoljik inceleme apendiks adenokarsinomu olarak rapor edildi. Bu vaka genellikle ameliyat öncesinde özgün tanı kriterleri tanımlanmamış apendiks tümörlerinin tanısı ve takibinde apendektomi materyallerinin rutin histopatolojik incelemesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.
