| Core Tip |
Despite negligible absorption of elemental mercury after acute ingestion, retention in the appendix with subsequent local and systemic complications is possible. The question of whether or not to perform appendectomy in an asymptomatic patient remains open. We present a case of elemental mercury sequestration in the appendix, managed by laparoscopic appendectomy in order to prevent possible complications. Given the limited evidence regarding the optimal management approach for patients with retained mercury, the choice of treatment strategy should be determined on a case-by-case basis by a multidisciplinary team. |
