Faculty of Medicine, University of Khartoum, Khartoum, 11111, Sudan.
Background & Objectives: Differentiation of histologic subtypes of appendiceal mucoceles may prove to be difficult on computed tomography (CT). The main objective of this study was to identify the CT features of mucocele of the appendix and correlate the imaging findings with histopathology in inflammatory, benign, and malignant neoplastic lesions, and whether these entities can be accurately differentiated on CT imaging.
Materials And Methods: CT scans of 31 patients with diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele were retrospectively reviewed and compared with histopathology.

A 54-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of abnormal colonoscopic findings, including a submucosal protuberance at the appendiceal root. A biopsy showed no malignant findings. Computed tomography revealed a 20-mm cystic lesion with thick walls at the appendiceal root, suggestive of an appendiceal mucocele.

An appendiceal mucocele is a rare clinical entity often mimicking that of acute appendicitis in a majority of cases leading to incidental intraoperative findings. Nevertheless, appropriate diagnosis is vital prior to surgery to prevent complications such as pseudomyxoma peritonei. This report details a case of a man in his 70s, who was admitted to the emergency department with right iliac fossa pain with imaging showing wall thickening of the caecum and the ascending colon.

Introduction And Importance: Paratubal cysts are common adnexal lesions that can lead to complications such as torsion, especially during pregnancy, presenting diagnostic challenges due to symptom overlap with acute surgical emergencies. This study details the clinical characteristics and management of paratubal cyst torsion through a case report and literature review.
Case Presentation: A 29-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation presented with right iliac fossa pain and nausea.

Article Synopsis
- Intestinal duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, often leading to symptoms that mimic other abdominal issues in children, making diagnosis difficult.
- A 4-year-old boy experienced recurrent abdominal pain and vomiting, and despite initial negative tests, a later barium examination revealed a significant mass related to an intestinal duplication cyst involving the colon, appendix, and ileum.
- After surgical resection of the cyst, the patient showed improvement without recurrence of symptoms for 5 years, highlighting the importance of using colonoscopy as a diagnostic tool for challenging cases.
