Appendiceal mucocele is a rare disease with an incidence of 0.07-0.63% of all appendectomies and was first described in 1842 by Carl von Rokitansky. It is defined as an abnormal intraluminal accumulation of mucin. The clinical picture of AM can vary from asymptomatic mass in the right lower quadrant to symptoms of acute appendicitis. In some cases, AM can be found accidentally on CT performed due to other reasons or during surgery. Diagnosis consists mainly of imaging methods such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI with the finding of encapsulated cystic mass with calcifications. The main goal of surgical treatment is to remove an intact mucocele and prevent spillage of mucin into the peritoneal cavity. We present a case of large mucocele treated with laparoscopic right hemicolectomy.

Angiosarkómy prsníka predstavujú hlavný histologický podtyp všetkých sarkómov prsníka a tvoria < 1% všetkých nádorov mäkkých tkanív. Angiosarkómy vznikajú z vaskulárneho endotelu a môžu vzniknúť de novo (primárny angiosarkóm) alebo v dôsledku rádioterapie alebo chronického lymfedému po axilárnej disekcii - Stewart-Treversov syndróm. Odhadovaný výskyt postradiačného angiosarkómu je 0,05 - 0,5 %. Postradiačný angiosarkóm sa zvyčajne vyskytuje u starších žien (60 - 70 rokov) a je to zriedkavý, agresívny nádor so zlou prognózou charakterizovaný vysokou mierou lokálnej recidívy. V našom článku uvádzame prípad rekurentného postradiačného angiosarkómu prsníka s metastázou v kontralaterálnom prsníku.
Breast angiosarcomas represent the main histologic subtype of all breast sarcomas and they account for < 1% of all soft tissue tumours. Angiosarcomas arise from vascular endothelium and can develop de novo (primary angiosarcoma) or as a consequence of radiotherapy or chronic lymphedema after axillary dissection – Stewart-Trevers syndrome. Estimated incidence of postradiation angiosarcoma is 0.05 – 0.5%. Postradiation angiosarcoma typically occurs in older women (60-70 years of age) and it is a rare, aggressive tumour with a poor prognosis characterized by a high rate of local recurrence. Herein, we present a case of recurrent postradiation breast angiosarcoma with metastasis in contralateral breast.
