Abstract

Mucocele is defined as a cystic mass resulting from a dilated appendiceal lumen caused by abnormal accumulation of mucus. The term mucocele is a gross description, not a pathologic diagnosis. The underlying cause for the mucinous accumulation ranges from a hyperplastic to a malignant process. We present a case of mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix which diagnosed postoperatively after an elective appendectomy performed because of plastron appendicitis.

Özet

Anormal mukus birikimine bağlı apendiks lümeninin dilate olmasıyla karakterize kistik kitleler apendiks mukoseli olarak adlandırılır. Mukosel terimi makroskobik bir tanımlama olup patolojik tanı değildir. Apendiks mukoseline neden olan lezyonlar hiperplastik lezyonlardan malignitelere kadar değişen bir spektrumda yer alırlar. Bu çalışmada plastrone apandisit kliniği ile başvurup elektif apendektomi uygulanan ve histopatolojik incelemede müsinoz kistadenom tespit edilen bir olgu sunulmuştur.
