Figure 1. Computed tomography scan on admission. The appendix
was dilated with the tumor exhibiting intraluminal growth. This tumor
extended to the serosal side of the proximal ascending colon.
Figure 2. Endoscopic finding of the stenotic portion.
Colonoscopy on admission showed a circumferential stenosis of the
ascending colon. The lumen was spread by air supply, and intraluminal
tumor growth was not observed. The mucosa was reddish but pathological
examination of biopsy specimens showed no malignancy.
Figure 3. Pathological finding of the appendix. The tumor was
arisen from the appendix wall and exhibited intraluminal growth. The
tumor consisted mainly of carcinoma, but an adenoma component was also
found. (A) Loupe image, (B) adenocarcinoma (x 200), and (C) adenoma
