“…21 The rate of perforation in the study was close to other studies. 22,23 However, there was a large difference in rate of perforation in this study and other studies, 24 which may be due to aggressive surgical approach for fear of perforation (to avoid perforation). Alemayehu et al studied the incidence and outcomes of unexpected pathology findings after appendectomy and showed that 3.1% of the patients had normal appendices and 2.4% of the patients had unexpected findings, including carcinoid tumor, pinworm, granuloma, eosinophilic infiltrates and other.…”

Background: This article aimed to assessment clinical signs and symptoms, paraclinical tests and histopathological results in children with acute appendicitis.Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted on 100 children with acute appendicitis in an urban hospital in southeast of Iran from January to December 2016. Participants were selected by simple random sampling method. Clinical signs and symptoms, paraclinical tests and histopathological results recorded in checklists. The data were analyzed using SPSS 22.Results: Mean age of the patients was 10.26±3.25, fourthly-eight of patients (58.5%) were males and 34 patients (41.5%) were females. The most frequent clinical signs and symptoms were acute suppurative appendicitis with peri appendicitis (45.83%) and acute suppurative appendicitis (39.58%). The most frequent results in ultrasound reports were Intestinal loop thickness greater than 6 mm without peristalsis (positive report) (46.34%) and Invisible appendix (nega Hesaraki tive report) (13.41%).Conclusions: The results of this study showed that abdominal pain and RLQ tenderness were the most common signs and symptoms and WBC left-shift was the most common laboratory finding. Since the rate of negative appendectomy in this study was consistent with surgical results and other articles, it is concluded that diagnostic accuracy of preoperative appendectomy was acceptable and most children with acute appendicitis underwent appendectomy.

Appendiceal mucocele is a rare disease. Sometimes it is discovered accidentally and sometimes it resembles acute appendicitis. Correct diagnosis before surgery is important for the selection of adequate surgical treatment to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications. Ultrasonography, and particularly computed tomography, should be used extensively for this purpose. If mucocele is treated incorrectly, pseudomyxoma peritonei may develop. We present a case of 22 year old man who was admitted to the emergency department with the signs of acute appendicitis. Emergency open appendectomy was performed. At the time of surgery, a cystic mass was found at the tip of the inflammed appendix. No free fluid was found in the peritoneal cavity. Diagnosis of Mucocele of appendix was suspected. Appendectomy was done and specimen sent for histopathological examination. No lymphadenopathy. Histopathologic diagnosis was subacute appendicitis, mucocele of appendix with simple mucous cyst. Patient is on regular follow-up.

“…The incidence of this entity changes between 0.2 and 0.95% (5). It has been reported that MCA is seen more frequently in women and those over 50 years (1,4,6). On the contrary, MCA in children is rarely seen and frequently of ovarian origin (3).…”

SummaryAlthough intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in children, intussusception of mucinous cystadenoma (MCA) of the appendix characterized by distension of the lumen due to accumulation of the mucoid substance is rarely reported. Diagnosis of MCA is usually made perioperatively. In these cases, as a general approach, an appendectomy is performed for cystadenoma, and right hemi-colectomy is recommended for cystadenocarcinoma. However, the type of surgical treatment is related to the dimensions and histology of the lesions. A 12-year-old boy was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of a mobile and painful mass in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Abdominal ultrasonography showed intussusception as well as a large, cystic and solid structure extending from cecum to transverse colon. Reduction of intussusception and right hemi-colectomy were performed subsequent to laparotomy. Pathologic diagnosis was reported as MCA. Although MCA is seen rarely, it always should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of intussusception and intra abdominal mass, especially in children with abdominal pain and distension.
