Appendiceal intussusception to the cecum caused by mucocele of the appendix is a rare cause of abdominal pain and difficult to diagnose. The laparoscopic surgery for appendiceal tumors is safe, feasible, and even may be beneficial.
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) are a rare soft tissue and viscera neoplasm with unknown etiopathogeny. They were first described in the lung, with a wide range of synonyms. They can invade adjacent organs, recur after excision or give distant metastases. The debate persists about their inflammatory or tumor, benign or malignant nature. On the radioclinical funding, they can mimic a malignant neoplasm. The diagnosis is almost always made on the pathological examination. The treatment is poorly codified but the management is usually surgical. These tumors rarely affect the digestive truct. The only cases of gastrointestinal IMT in adults, at Hassan II university hospital in Fez during last 15 years, are those presented in this article
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
