Laparoscopic management of appendiceal intussusception associated with villous adenocarcinoma.
The authors present a case of appendiceal intussusception, a rare finding that can be associated with appendiceal neoplasms. A 74-year-old woman with right lower quadrant abdominal pain was found to have an appendiceal intussusception associated with a villous adenocarcinoma and was managed with a laparoscopic assisted right hemicolectomy. This case is presented along with a review of the symptoms, diagnosis, classification, and appropriate management of this entity via laparoscopy.
