متن کاملAppendiceal Orifice Inflammation Mimicking Submucosal Tumor on Roentgenogram in Ulcerative Colitis
Appendiceal orifice inflammation (AOI) is observed as skip lesion in distal ulcerative colitis (UC). The endoscopic frequency of AOI is reported to be 7.9% to 76% of distal colitis. UC is a relapsing and remitting disease and a morphological change of the large bowel occurs over time.

Interval appendectomy (IA) for appendiceal abscesses is useful for avoiding extended surgery and preventing postoperative complications. However, IA has problems in that it takes time before an abscess is reduced in size in some cases and in that elective surgery may result in a delay in treatment in patients with a malignant tumor of the appendix. In order to rule out malignancy, we performed ...
