Abstract
A 59-year-old man with lower abdominal pain was referred to our hospital. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a 72×72-mm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and a 51×39 mm distended appendix. We diagnosed AAA concomitant with appendicieal mucocele. An emergency single-stage surgical operation for both was performed to avoid rupture. First, an aneurysmectomy and Y-graft replacement was performed, then, the graft was wrapped by the aneurysmal wall and the retroperitoneum was closed. Second, an appendectomy was performed. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 19 uneventfully.
We report a case of a single-stage operation for abdominal aotic aneurysm concomitant with appendicieal mucocele.
