 Appendiceal mass lesions were investigated in 29 patients. Final diagnosis included appendiceal carcinoma (ACA) in 11 patients, appendiceal mucinous cystadenoma (AMCA) in 6, and periappendiceal abscess (PAA) in 12. All these patients underwent barium enema study, the findings of which were compared with those of other imaging techniques.

 The subject patients included 19 men (66%) and 10 women (34%), ranging in age from 3 to 77, with a mean of 53 years. In most of the patients with ACA, the chief complaint was ileocecal mass, while in those with PAA, it was ileocecal pain. CEA was elevated in 67% of the patients with ACA, leucocytosis was found in 82% of PAA, and ESR was elevated (over 43 mm/hr) in all patients with PAA. Preoperative diagnosis was correct in about 50% of the cases of ACA and AMCA, and in almost all cases of PAA.

 Barium enema findings observed in these three diseases were extrinsic compressions or elevations simulating submucosal tumor (SMT). The appendix itself was delineated in 2 cases of ACA, in 3 cases of PAA, and in no case of AMCA. In 33% of the cases of AMCA, the deformity of appendiceal orifice was noted.

 The findings by other imaging techniques in each lesion were as follows; in mucinous cystadenocarcinoma in ACA, CT and US were useful in detecting the cystic component of the lesion, while the findings of angiography and 67Ga scintigraphy were not specific for ACA; in AMCA, CT and US were extremely useful; CT and US contributed to the diagnosis of PAA when extraluminal abscess was successfully visualized; endoscopic findings including compression or SMT-like elevation were not specific in either of three lesions.

 It was concluded that appendiceal mass lesions may be correctly diagnosed by barium enema study combined with clinical informations and other imaging findings.
