摘要
Appendiceal mucinous cystadenoma （AMC） is an ,uncommon disease. The clinical symptoms arenon-specific, thus the preoperative diagnosis is very difficult. The importance of recognizing this condition lies in preventing spillage during surgery. At present, the widespread use of computed tomography （CT） for evaluating abdominal disease has increased the detection rate and diagnostic accuracy for AMC. Here, we report the CT appearance of 4 histologically proven AMCs.
