Volvulus of the Appendix with Mucinous Cystadenoma in Second Trimester: A Case Report
Abstract: An 18-year-old primigravid female at 17 weeks of gestation presented with gradually progressive diffuse abdominal pain. Clinical examination revealed right lower quadrant tenderness. Ultrasonography suggested ileocecal intussusception. Due to persistent symptoms, exploratory laparotomy was performed, revealing volvulus of the appendix with mucinous content. Appendectomy was successfully carried out. Histopathological examination indicated features consistent with mucinous cystadenoma. This case highlights a rare cause of acute abdomen in pregnancy and emphasizes the importance of timely surgical intervention.
