ABSTRACT
Neurilemmoma, like other non-epithelial tumors, seldom occurs in the thyroid gland. We present a case of a 61-year-old woman with a neurilemmoma of her left thyroid lobe. She was clinically and biochemically euthyroid, and underwent a left thyroid lobectomy without complications. The tumor was an encapsulated solid mass, 34x23x1 5mm in size and was diagnosed as neurilemmoma. Neurilemmoma of the thyroid gland tends to develop in the right lobe, but this case was in the left.

An appendicocolic fistula is a rare disease. It seems likely that the appendix becomes adherent to the viscus either before or after its perforation due to appendicitis, so surgeons may become confused when an emergency appendectomy in done. We report one case of an appendicocolic fistula to draw attention to the importance of this fistula and to describe the clinical, the diagnostic, and the therapeutic aspects of the disease.
