Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 28013
  • Image ID: 6103137
  • Image stack position: 2/36
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: C+ portal venous phase
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Gastrointestinal
  • Findings: There is some fluid in the cecum layering dependently at the cecal apex. There is also a tubular shaped fluid filled cystic lesion appreciated on the right side of the pelvis which appears to originate at the level of the cecal apex and most likely represents a markedly dilated appendix. This measures up to 3.8 cm at the distal aspect. There is irregular calcification seen at the tip. There is no surrounding fat stranding noted. Findings are consistent with appendiceal mucocele, without rupture. Patient is status post hysterectomy and oophorectomy, therefore this is less likely to represent a cystic lesion of gynecologic origin. Focal wall thickening and stricture of the terminal ileum at the ileocecal junction, most likely reflecting chronic changes of inflammatory bowel disease. No evidence for obstruction.
