Introduction:
Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical diagnosis
of right lower abdominal pain in young adult patients, that usually required
emergency surgical intervention. It diagnosis mostly made on clinical and
non-invasive diagnostic modalities background, although other rare patholo-
gies including right colonic tumour must be concerned specially in suspicious
presentation or in older patients. We reported an adult patient presented and
diagnosed as a case of acute complicated appendicitis that operated laparo-
scopically, subsequently he underwent for life saving laparotomy, and finally
diagnosed as colonic adenocarcinoma.
Cases Report:
A 55 years oldmale diagnosed as perforated appendicitis. Lap-
aroscopic intervention for appendectomy revealed dilated inflamed cecum
with catarrhal appendix. Several days after improvement and discharged, pa-
tient came with peritonitis. Laparotomy revealed rupture cecum and proximal
right colonic ring stricture. The resected hemi colonic segment histology re-
vealed adenocarcinoma.
Discussion:
The diagnosis of right colonic tumour is difficult in emergency
condition because appendicitis is the dominant expected diagnosis in adult
patients, the absence of colonic emergency complications (perforation and
obstruction), and the inaccurate scanning study.
Conclusion:
Right colonic-cecal adenocarcinoma
is a rare entity, it can be presented as cecaitis in
adult patient, and the improper diagnosis of it may
lead to incomplete surgical management and sub-
sequent fatal complications.
