AI Article Synopsis
- Primary signet ring cell carcinoma of the appendix is a rare type of cancer that often mimics the symptoms of acute appendicitis, particularly causing right lower abdominal pain.
- Preoperative imaging, like CT scans, is crucial in detecting appendiceal adenocarcinoma, as accurate diagnosis can lead to more suitable surgical interventions.
- The case report discusses an 80-year-old man whose primary signet ring cell carcinoma of the appendix was mistakenly identified as acute appendicitis on a CT scan.
Article Abstract
Primary signet ring cell carcinoma of the appendix is a very rare neoplasm that usually presents with signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis and in particular with a right lower abdominal pain. Preoperative imaging detection of appendiceal adenocarcinoma has an important value because it may result in an appropriate surgical procedure. We report a rare case of primary signet ring cell carcinoma of the vermiform appendix in an 80-year-old man who was misdiagnosed on computed tomography (CT) scan as acute appendicitis.

Background: Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) originates from undifferentiated stem cells in the neck of glands within the lamina propria of the mucosa. Primarily affecting the stomach, SRCC can also involve the breast, pancreas, gallbladder, colon, and bladder, although these cases are rare. SRCC of the prostate is extremely rare, and diagnosing it pelvic puncture is particularly challenging.

Introduction: Recent studies have shown an increase in the prevalence of early-onset colorectal cancer (CRC) in people aged 20-49 compared to those aged 50-74, with a more rapid increase in the younger age groups. Poorly differentiated, left-sided, and rectal tumors were more common in young adults than in older adult CRC patients. We aimed to improve the understanding of early-onset CRC and to guide primary care physicians on strategies to mitigate its impact.

Background: Signet-ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) is a rare subtype of colorectal cancer. The incidence of primary colonic SRCC is relatively rare in pediatric patients, with a limited number of reported cases currently available. The prognosis for this specific tumor type is unfavorable, and the preoperative diagnosis presents challenges, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.
