We aimed to emphasize the relation between acute appendicitis and colon cancer among young patients by introducing two patients under 40 years who were diagnosed with appendicitis, and underwent appendicectomy operation; however, they were later diagnosed with colon cancer.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Acute appendicitis occurs with obliteration of the appendix lumen due to fecaloma, lymphoid hyperplasia, parasite, foreign body, and tumor.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Knowing that it can be seen in patients over the age of 40 who underwent appendicectomy operation, the necessary investigations for diagnosis should be conducted during preoperative, perioperative and even postoperative period.

Abstract

Acute appendicitis occurs with obliteration of the appendix lumen due to fecaloma, lymphoid hyperplasia, parasite, foreign body, and tumor. In recent years, it has been reported that obstruction by colon tumors also creates signs of appendicitis, based upon which the appendicectomy operation is done. Knowing that it can be seen in patients over the age of 40 who underwent appendicectomy operation, the necessary investigations for diagnosis should be conducted during preoperative, perioperative and even postoperative period. We aimed to emphasize the relation between acute appendicitis and colon cancer among young patients by introducing two patients under 40 years who were diagnosed with appendicitis, and underwent appendicectomy operation; however, they were later diagnosed with colon cancer.

Özet

Akut apandisit, apendiks lümeninin fekalom, lenfoid hiperplazi, parazit, yabancı cisim ve tümör tarafından tıkanmasıyla oluşur. Son yıllarda tıkanma yapan kolon tümörlerinin de apandisit bulguları oluşturduğu ve bu nedenle apendektomi ameliyatı yapıldığı bildirilmektedir. Özellikle 40 yaşın üzerinde apendektomi ameliyatı uygulanan hastalarda böyle bir olasılığın olduğunu bilerek ameliyat öncesi, ameliyatta ve ameliyat sonrası dönemde tanıya yönelik gerekli incelemeleri yapmak gerekir. Biz başvuru esnasında kolon kanseri olmasına rağmen akut apandisit tanısıyla apendektomi ameliyatı yapılan, ancak ilerleyen dönemde kolon kanseri tanısı konulan 40 yaşın altında 2 olguyu sunarak, gençlerde de akut apandisit ve kolon kanseri arasındaki ilişkiyi vurgulamak istedik.
