MUCOCELE OF APPENDIX : A DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGE
View through CrossRef
Mucocele of appendix is a rare disease and its correct diagnosis before surgery is very important for the
selection of adequate surgical treatment. If mucocele is treated incorrectly pseudomyxoma peritonei,
which is characterized by a malignant process, may develop. We present a case of a 55 year old male patient who was admitted
with mass per abdomen, initially diagnosed as mesenteric cyst on ultrasonography, later found to be a mucocele of appendix on
contrast enhanced computed tomography. Open surgery was performed and a cystic mass of appendix with dimensions 8x3cms
was noted. Appendectomy was done along with 0.5cm of adherent cecal wall all around and cecum was closed by primary
repair. Histopathology of the specimen conrmed the diagnosis and post operative period was uneventful.
