The Diagnostic Significance of a Mucocele of the Appendix
Abstract:
Appendiceal mucoceles are rare lesions with a variable clinical presentation often identified incidentally on imaging or at laparotomy/laparoscopy for an unrelated diagnosis. Mucocele of the appendix may be a benign or malignant process, making early recognition based on symptoms and key radiographic characteristics of the utmost importance for optimal patient management. Here we present the case of a patient presenting with non-specific abdominal complaints suffering from appendiceal mucocele perforation due to low-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma.
