Abstract

Idiopathic cecal ulcer or solitary cecal ulcer is a rare entity that can only be diagnosed by histopathological evaluation. Generally, it is diagnosed by histolopathological evaluation of biopsy specimens obtained by colonoscopy that is performed for lower gastrointestinal bleeding. It can also be diagnosed after surgical resection performed for acute abdomen or cecal mass mimicking malignancy. Cecal carcinoid tumor is a rare cause of this condition; however, coexistence of cecal ulcer and appendix carcinoid tumor has not been previously reported. In this case, we present a 73-year-old woman who clinically presented as acute appendicitis with cecal wall thickening, underwent right hemicolectomy and was subsequently diagnosed with cecal ulcer, serosal abscess and coexisting appendix carcinoid tumor.

Özet

İdiyopatik çekal ülser (İÇÜ) ya da soliter çekal ülser, oldukça nadir karşılaşılan ve kesin tanısı histopatolojik olarak konulan bir klinik durumdur. Çoğu zaman alt gastrointestinal sistem kanaması araştırılırken kolonoskopik biyopsi ile tanı konurken, nadir olarak da akut karın nedeniyle ya da çekumda kitle görüntüsüyle maligniteyi taklit etmesi nedeniyle cerrahi rezeksiyon sonrası tanı konur. Çekal karsinoid tümör, hastalığın nadir sebeplerinden biridir, ancak apendiks karsinoid tümör birlikteliği daha önce bildirilmemiştir. Bu çalışmada, akut apandisit kliniği ile başvuran ve çekumda duvar kalınlaşması saptanan 73 yaşındaki kadın hastaya sağ hemikolektomi yapılıp patoloji sonucu izole çekal ülser ve serozal apse ve eşlik eden apendiks karsinoid tümörü olan olgu sunulmaktadır.
