Adenocarcinoma ex goblet cell carcinoid is a rare tumor incidentally found in specimens of appendicitis. Most patients present with acute abdomen, similar to acute appendicitis. Here we present two cases, which were found incidentally after operation. We give a brief summary about clinical and biological behavior of this entity.

Introduction. Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of acute abdomen, but atypical appendicitis may lead to delayed diagnosis and related complications. In this report, we present a very rare case of acute appendicitis causing right hydronephrosis.Case Report. A 54-year-old male patient who had been receiving antibiotic therapy due to the diagnosis of urinary tract infection for the last one week but had no clinical improvement was admitted to the emergency service. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed right hydronephrosis and a pelvic abscess. After appendectomy and abscess drainage had been performed, hydronephrosis was completely recovered.Discussion. The use of appendicitis scoring systems, abdominal ultrasonography (USG), abdominal CT, and diagnostic laparoscopy can be useful for the diagnostic process in patients presenting with acute abdomen. In our patient, we considered that the surgical treatment was delayed since the symptoms of acute appendicitis were suppressed by the antibiotic therapy that was being administered due to the complaints including symptoms of urinary tract infections.Conclusion. Atypical appendicitis may cause a delay in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and thus may lead to serious complications such as right hydronephrosis, prolonged hospital stay, increased morbidity and mortality, and increased antibiotic resistance.

Background: Acute abdomen poses a big challenge to the general surgeons in terms of both diagnosis and management. The aim of this study was to know in detail the clinical and postoperative outcome in non traumatic acute abdomen.Methods: Prospectively collected data of 326 patients with non traumatic acute abdomen admitted in PES institute of medical sciences and research, Kuppam from November 2016 to June 2018. All patients were subjected to clinical examination, relevant blood and imaging investigations, Intra and postoperative findings events were recorded.Results: Non traumatic acute abdominal pain was more common in 2nd to 5th decade of life. Males are more affected than females with a male to female ratio of 3.4:1. Acute appendicitis forms the commonest cause of acute abdomen (n=160=49%) followed by perforative peritonitis (n=85=26%). Most common surgical procedures done were laparoscopic/open appendectomy for acute appendicitis, exploratory laparotomy with Graham’s omentoplasty for perforative peritonitis.Conclusions: Systematic approach in history taking and a proper clinical examination with supportive imaging findings are most important in making an accurate diagnosis and need of appropriate surgical intervention in patients with non traumatic acute abdomen.

Idiopathic Omental Infarct (IOI) is a rare cause of an acute abdomen that arises from an interruption of blood supply to the omentum. Since first case was described by Elitelin 1899, more than 300 cases have been published [1]. It can mimic serious surgical pathology. It occurs in <1% of appendicitis cases [2]. It’s challenge to diagnose, as features may mimic acute appendicitis and therefore in young patients, may only be discovered intra-operative. Here, we present a case of omental infarct in 26-year-old gentleman with no significant medical or surgical background who present with acute onset of right iliac fossa (RIF) pain. Examination revealed tenderness over the right iliac fossa and was having localized rebound. His inflammatory markers were high. He was successfully treated with laparoscopy surgery and he was subsequently discharged the following day.
