Abstract：Objective To investigate the value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in the diagnosis of appendix
mucinous cystadenoma (AMC). Methods The clinical data and MSCT imaging data of twelve patients
clinically diagnosed with AMC in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the twelve
cases with AMC, four cases were associated with infection, including two cases of tumor rupture with
peritoneal implantation. Ten masses were located in the right lower abdomen near the ileocecal area,
two masses were in pelvic cavity. Nine cases were round or oval cystic mass in CT axial, one case was
lobulated, two cases were comma-shaped. All the cases were tubular or shuttle shaped and lobulated in
multiplanar reconstruction images. Three cases showed cystic walls with uneven thickness, one case showed
intracapsular with separation, three cases showed calcification. The cystic wall of ten cases showed moderate
enhancement. Conclusion MSCT can show the location, shapes, and characteristics of enhancement, which
can provide important reference basis for the preoperative diagnosis and surgical treatment of AMC.
