  • Title: [A case of appendiceal mucocele associated with adenocarcinoma of the left colon].
    Author: Versaci A, Rossitto M, Giuffré M, Leonello G, Pagano G, Terranova M.
    Journal: G Chir; 1999 Oct; 20(10):397-401. PubMed ID: 10555406.
    Abstract:
    The Authors report an unusual case of appendiceal mucocele associated with a large bowel carcinoma occasionally observed in the course of examinations for the first pathology. Due to the rareness of the association of the two affections, the clinical problems and pathogenetic theories are reviewed, also analysing the histological differences of the various mucoceles which need a different surgical approach. They conclude stating that the preoperative diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele, is easier today than in the past, thanks to the routine use of ultrasonography and tomography through which it is possible to reveal concomitant pathologies often clinically silent.
