Appendiceal mucocele, a rare appendix tumor, is more common in older women. This study details its colonoscopic appearance and reviews existing literature on this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Appendiceal mucocele is a rare vermiform appendix disorder.
  • It predominantly affects individuals in their sixth or seventh decades.
  • A distinct female predominance is observed in appendiceal mucocele cases.

Observation:

  • Few appendiceal mucocele cases are documented in endoscopic literature.
  • This report presents two cases of appendiceal mucocele.
  • The colonoscopic appearance of these appendiceal tumors is described and illustrated.

Findings:

  • Appendiceal mucocele exhibits a characteristic colonoscopic appearance.
  • Endoscopic visualization aids in the diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele.
  • Literature review provides context for the presented cases.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of appendiceal mucocele's endoscopic features is crucial.
  • Colonoscopy can play a vital role in identifying appendiceal mucocele.
  • Further research is needed to understand this rare condition better.
