Abstract
Objective To the value of ultrasonic imaging in diagnosis of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms in patients. Methods A retrospective review was performed for the 26 cases undergoing pre-operative ultrasonography and finally diagnosed as appendiceal mucinous neoplasms by pathology. The 26 patients were included in the study, 11 elderly patients aged ≥60 years as group A, and 15 younger patients aged <60 years as group B. The characteristics of the ultrasonic imaging were analyzed. Results Features of ultrasound images leading to diagnosis were summarized as following. The lesion transverse diameter was over 2 cm, with anechoic or hypoechoic area of lesion oronion skinsign inside the lesions. There were distinct borderlines between lesions and surrounding tissues, with no or little blood in the color doppler flow imaging. Conclusions There are same u1trasonography characteristics of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms in two age groups.Improving the knowledge of this disease and grasping the clinical and sonography characteristics are stringent to enhance the accuracy rate of diagnosis. Key words: Ultrasonography; Appendiceal neoplasms; Color Doppler
