    Abstract:
    Mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix is a type of appendiceal mucocele and a rather rare condition usually found incidentally in the course of other abdominal surgery. A previous evaluation of 73 appendiceal mucoceles showed that this disease was often associated with adenocarcinoma and other epithelial atypia. This observation suggested that patients with mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix also have some underlying disorders. However, non-epithelial changes associated with appendiceal mucocele have not been reported so far. In this study, we presented for the first time a mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix associated with muscular and neuromatous hyperplasia.
