AN ATYPICAL PRESENTATION OF MUCOCELE OF APPENDIX
View through CrossRef
Introduction: Mucocele of the appendix is an obstructive dilatation of the appendix caused by intraluminal accumulation
of mucoid material. It represents only 0.3%-0.7% of appendiceal pathology and 8% of appendiceal tumors. A patient's
clinical symptoms include pain in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, palpable abdominal mass, nausea, vomiting, weight loss,
gastrointestinal bleeding, and signs of intussusceptions of the intestines.
If treated improperly, the mucocele may progress, epithelial cells may escape into the peritoneal cavity, and Pseudomyxoma Peritonei may
develop, which has a high mortality. This condition can have benign as well as malignant processes. According to modern classication, there are 4
histologic types: Retention cyst, mucosal hyperplasia, Mucinous cystadenoma, and Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma.
