Abstract

Mucocele of appendix, a cystic mass resulting from dilated appendiceal lumen caused by abnormal accumulation of mucus, is a rare entity. The incidence of mucocele in appendectomy specimens is about %0.25. The preoperative diagnosis of mucocele of the appendix is important because of the possibility of rupture at surgery with development of pseudomy-xoma peritonei and to predict malignant transformation. In this case report; we aimed to reveal the findings in ultrasonography and computed tomography in diagnosing appendiceal mucocele and discriminating it from mimicking conditions.

Özet

Apendiks lümeninde anormal mukus birikmesi sonucu kistik bir kitle şeklinde görülen apendiks mukoseli nadir bir antitedir. Apendektomi spesimenlerindeki mukosel insidansı %0.25'dir. Apendiks mukoselinin preoperatif tanısının konulması, cerrahi sırasında rüptür ile psödomiksoma peritonei gelişebilmesi ve malign transformasyon sürecinin önceden belirlenmesi açısından önemlidir. Biz bu olgu bildirisinde; apendiks mukosel olgusunun tanısının konulmasında, ultrasonografi ve bilgisayarlı tomografi bulgularının sunulmasını ve bu görüntüleme yöntemlerinin onu taklit eden durumlardan ayırd edilmesindeki rolüne değinmeyi amaçladık.
