Abstract

Aim: Neoplastic lesions of the appendix are very rare and most of them are incidentally detected during appendectomy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features and applied treatments of the patients who were operated in our clinic and diagnosed as appendiceal mucinous tumor (ApMT) in the light of the literature. Method: The data and appendectomy specimens of the patients who were operated in our clinic between January 2011 and December 2016 and who were diagnosed as ApMT were retrospectively evaluated. Age, gender, clinical findings, diagnostic methods, histopathological diagnosis and subsequent treatments were evaluated. Results: Six of the patients were male and four were female. The mean age was 48.6 years (range, 28-85). Nine patients were operated for acute abdomen and one patient was operated electively. Ultrasonography was performed in four patients and computed tomography was performed in six patients preoperatively. Pathological examination revealed simple mucocele in eight patients, mucinous adenoma in one patient and mucinous cystadenoma in one patient. Two patients had appendiceal diverticulum and two patients had diverticulitis associated with acute appendicitis, two patients had appendix perforation and three patients had periapendicular abscess. All patients underwent appendectomy for ApMT. Conclusion: ApMT is a rare tumor of the appendix that may be benign or malignant. Patients may present with symptoms of acute appendicitis as well as unspecific symptoms. Although preoperative diagnosis is difficult, it helps to minimize complications. Care should be taken to prevent appendix rupture and peritoneal mucus contamination during surgery.

Özet

Amaç: Apendiksin neoplastik lezyonları oldukça nadir görülen ve çoğunluğu apendektomi esnasında insidental olarak saptanan lezyonlardır. Bu çalışmada kliniğimizde opere edilen ve apendiks musinöz tümör (ApMT) tanısı konulan olguların klinikopatolojik olarak incelenerek uygulanan tedavilerin literatür eşliğinde değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Yöntem: Ocak 2011-Aralık 2016 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde opere edilen ve ApMT tanısı konulan hasta dosyası ve apendektomi piyeslerine ait sonuçlar retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, klinik bulgular, tanı yöntemleri, histopatolojik tanı ve sonraki tedavileri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların 6’sı erkek, 4’ü kadın olup yaş ortalaması 48,6 (28-85 aralığında) idi. Dokuz hasta akut batın bulguları ile ve 1 hasta elektif olarak opere edilmiş idi. Tanısal yöntem olarak 4 hastada ultrasonografi ve 6 hastada bilgisayarlı tomografi uygulanmış idi. Patolojik değerlendirmede 8 hastada basit mukosel, 1 hastada musinöz adenom ve 1 hastada musinöz kistadenom mevcut idi. İki hastada akut apandisite eşlik eden apandiks divertikülü ve iki hastada divertikülit; iki hastada apendiks perforasyonu; üç hastada ise periapendiküler apse mevcut idi. Tüm hastalarda ApMT için apendektomi işlemi uygulanmış idi. Sonuç: ApMT apendiksin benign veya malign olabilen nadir bir tümörüdür. Hastalar akut apandisit bulguları yanı sıra belirgin olmayan semptomlar ile başvurabilir. Preoperatif tanı zor olmasına rağmen komplikasyonları en aza indirmede yardımcıdır. Cerrahi esnasında apendiks rüptürünü ve peritoneal mukus kontaminasyonunu önlemek için dikkatli olunmalıdır.
