Abstract

Appendiceal mucoceles are rare lesions of appendix and the incidance in literature is 0.1-0.4 of all appendectomies. Mucocele is characterized by a gross enlargement of appendix from accumulation of mucoid substance within the lumen. There is a female predominance (female/male: 7/1) and an avarage age of diagnosis over 50s. Preoperative diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele is rare. Their clinical presentation is not specific and they are incidentally detected on imaging. USG confirms appendiceal involvement, but differential diagnosis with acute inflammation, abscess or localized peritonitis is to be made. CT is more specific and more accurate for diagnosis of mucocele.Mucocele can result from a simple mucous membrane hyperplasia with extreme mucous formation; or an adenoma ; or an adenocarcinoma. Rupture of mucocele results in pseudomyxoma peritonei which significantly decreases survival of patients with appendiceal mucocele.

Özet

Appendiks mukoseli appendiks lümenini dolduran mukoid madde ile karakterizedir ve appendiks boyutunda çok fazla büyümeye yol açabilir. Appendiks mukoseli tüm appendektomilerin % 0.3-0.7 ünü oluşturur; yani appendiksin nadir lezyonudur. Kadınlarda daha fazla görülür: Kadın/Erkek: 7/1. ortalama görülme yaşı:50’dir.Appendiks mukoselinin klinik prezentasyonu spesifik değildir ve görüntüleme yöntemleriyle tesadüfen saptanır; bu yüzden appendiks mukoselinin preoperatif tanısı çok nadirdir. USG appendiks patolojisi olduğunu saptar; fakat akut inflamasyon, abse veya lokalize peritonit arasında ayırıcı tanı yapılmalıdır. BT mukosel için çok daha spesifık ve doğru sonuç veren bir yöntemdir.Mukosel; bol mukus üreten basit müköz membran hiperplazisi sonucu, veya adenom sonucu; veya adenokarsinom sonucu gelişebilir. Mukosel içeriğinin karın içine yayılması “pseudomyxoma peritonei” denilen tabloyu oluşturur ki bu da sürviyi belirgin derecede azaltır.
