Utility of Appendiceal Calcifications Detected on Computed Tomography as a Predictor for an Underlying Appendiceal Epithelial Neoplasm

Background Mucinous appendiceal neoplasms can contain radiopaque calcifications. Whether appendiceal radiographic calcifications indicate the presence of an appendiceal epithelial neoplasm is unknown. This study aimed to determine whether appendiceal calcifications detected by computed tomography (CT) correlate with the presence of appendiceal epithelial neoplasms.
