Two rare cases of appendiceal intussusception are presented. One involved only appendiceal mucosa, while the other stemmed from a cystoadenoma, both requiring right hemicolectomy due to diagnostic challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Appendiceal intussusception is a rare condition, often presenting with non-specific symptoms.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, frequently requiring advanced imaging or surgical exploration.

Observation:

  • Report of two distinct cases of appendiceal intussusception.
  • Case 1: Intussusception exclusively involving the appendiceal mucosa.
  • Case 2: Intussusception caused by an appendiceal cystoadenoma.

Findings:

  • Both cases presented diagnostic difficulties.
  • Surgical intervention, specifically right hemicolectomy, was necessary for both patients.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the underlying causes.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos
