Abstract

Carcinoid tumor of the appendix and mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix are rare diseases which are found accidentally with appendectomy. We report a case of coexistence of adenocarcinoid and mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix. The patient was a 22-year-old female with a chief complaint of right lower abdominal pain, who had had a similar symptom three times. Our diagnosis was chronic appendicitis, and she underwent an appendectomy. The pathologic findings were carcinoid tumor and mucinous cystadenoma. This is the third such case reported in Japan.
