Leiomyoma of the appendix: A familiar lesion at an unfamiliar location
Page: 500-502
This report examines the rare case of a 22-year-old male diagnosed with an appendiceal leiomyoma after presenting with abdominal pain and intermittent fever, similar to an episode experienced six months prior mimicking appendicitis. Such leiomyomas are exceptionally rare in medical literature, with few documented cases. The discussion emphasizes the challenge in distinguishing this condition from similar pathologies like gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs), leiomyosarcomas, and schwannomas, highlighting the critical need for precise diagnostic methods.
