• Swelling

  Mucoceles are swellings or sacs from swelling of the appendix wall, typically filled with mucous. There is a range of benign to malignant conditions that can occur in the appendix to form a mucocele. [cancer.net]

  The patient evolved with globus abdomen and distended, without palpable and mild edema and lymphadenopathy of the lower limbs. Subjected to new complementary tests for staging and conduct. [omicsonline.org]

  No edema, organomegaly or lymphadenopathy was noted. The patient was a known case of hypertension along with a history of umbilical hernia since 2 years. [ijpmonline.org]

  Computed tomography features (appendiceal morphology and diameter, presence of ascites, rectal shelf, omental cake, lymphadenopathy or organ metastasis) were retrospectively reviewed, and compared with histopathological findings. [cancerindex.org]

  Also observed pleural effusion in moderate amount a right and laminar a left. Moreover, it was observed absence of lymphadenopathy. [omicsonline.org]

• Dyspnea

  If the patient develops dyspnea and pneumoderma during or after this procedure, a chest radiogram or thoracoabdominal CT should be taken for diagnostic purposes. [giornalechirurgia.it]

• Abdominal Pain

  After experiencing intermittent episodes of abdominal pain for two years, a 28-year-old woman developed partial small bowel obstruction. Barium enema and colonoscopy revealed the source of obstruction to be an apparent cecal carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The spectrum of symptoms varies from a vague abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss, to a palpable mass, abdominal distension, and acute appendicitis 1,3. [radiopaedia.org]

• Abdominal Distension

  An 80-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with abdominal distension. Abdominal computed tomography showed a small bowel obstruction and a small bowel loop through the right sciatic foramen outside the pelvic cavity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The spectrum of symptoms varies from a vague abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss, to a palpable mass, abdominal distension, and acute appendicitis 1,3. [radiopaedia.org]

  Case Report A 51-year-old woman came to our emergency room complaining of pain in the right lower quadrant that had begun the day before. During her physical examination, right lower quadrant tenderness and rebound tenderness were noted. [e-ultrasonography.org]

• Abdominal Bloating

  PMP affects women more than men and symptoms may include pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, digestive disorders, weight change and infertility. If left untreated, the mucin build-up may compress vital tissues such as the liver, spleen and stomach. [medivizor.com]

• Pneumoperitoneum

  We report a case of an accidental bowel wall injury during diagnostic colonoscopic with consequent pneumoperitoneum; this was followed by expansion of gas through diaphragmatic fenestration perhaps congenital, in right pleural cavity causing pneumothorax [giornalechirurgia.it]

Resection of the ileocecal segment is the first choice treatment in all stages except Dukes A. In Dukes A appendectomy alone is sufficient treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Treatment for mucinous adenoma that has not ruptured and that is confined to the appendix is removal of the appendix. [mucinousadenocarcinoma.com]

Well-differentiated adenocarcinomas of the colonic type generally had a better prognosis than signet-ring cell (or microglandular) tumors. The most reliable criterion for correlating prognosis was the Duke's method of staging. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Each factor included in the nomogram model was ascribed a weighted point to estimate the effect of this factor on prognosis. In the nomogram model, a higher score indicated worse prognosis. [nature.com]

Prognosis Removal of the appendix for mucinous cystadenoma that has not spread is considered curative. [mucinousadenocarcinoma.com]

Different from the appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, these tumors share similar epidemiology and pathology with colorectal adenocarcinoma. As colorectal cancer, these tumors commonly occur in elderly patients, often in the 6 th decade of life 1. [radiopaedia.org]
