Appendiceal intussusception complicated by adenocarcinoma of the cecum : A case report
©The Author(s) 2024. Published by Baishideng Publishing Group Inc. All rights reserved..
BACKGROUND: Appendiceal intussusception is a pathological condition in which the appendix is inverted into the cecum, which may cause symptoms that resemble those of other gastrointestinal disorders and may induce intestinal obstruction. The rarity of this case presentation is the co-occurrence of appendiceal intussusception and cecal adenocarcinoma, a combination that to our knowledge has not previously been reported in the medical literature. This case provides new insights into the complexities of diagnosing and managing overlapping pathologies.
CASE SUMMARY: A 25-year-old woman presented with persistent periumbilical pain and bloody stools. An initial biopsy showed cecal cancer; however, subsequent colonoscopy and computed tomography findings raised the suspicion of appendiceal intussusception, which was later confirmed postoperatively. This unique case was characterized by a combination of intussusception and adenocarcinoma of the cecum. The intervention included a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, which led to the histopathological diagnosis of mucinous adenocarcinoma with appendiceal intussusception. The patient recovered well postoperatively and was advised to initiate adjuvant chemotherapy. This case highlights not only the importance of considering appendiceal intussusception in the differential diagnosis, but also the possibility of appendicitis and the atypical presentation of neoplastic lesions.
CONCLUSIONS: Physicians should consider the possibility of appendiceal intussusception in cases of atypical appendicitis, particularly when associated with neoplastic presentation.
