Abstract
Appendiceal mucocele is a rare entity which is characterised by cystic dilatation due to abnormal accumulation of mucus in the lumen of the appendix. Patients are often diagnosed incidentally by abdominal screening or abdominal surgery for other causes. Pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, which may present as acute or chronic appendicitis, is the most common symptom of appendix mucocele, when the patient is symptomatic. This study describes the case of a 26 year old female for whom surgical intervention for a complex ovarian cyst was planned, but who instead underwent laparoscopic appendectomy because appendiceal mucocele was determined during laparoscopic exploration.
Özet
Apendiks mukoseli, apendiks lümeninde anormal mukus birikimine bağlı gelişen kistik dilatasyon ile karakterize nadir görülen bir durumdur. Hastaların tanısı sıklıkla rastlantısal olarak yapılan abdominal görüntülemeler veya başka bir nedenle yapılan ameliyatlar esnasında konulur. Akut veya kronik apandisiti işaret eden karın sağ alt kadran ağrısı, apendiks mukoselinin en sık semptomudur. Bu çalışmada, komplike over kisti ön tanısıyla operasyona alınan ve yapılan laparoskopik eksplorasyonda apendiks mukoseli izlenmesi üzerine laparoskopik apendektomi yapılan 26 yaşında kadın olgu sunulmuştur
