  • Title: The Diagnostic Significance of a Mucocele of the Appendix.
    Author: Craig DH, Ruddy JM, Pullatt RC, Hardie AD, Camp ER.
    Journal: J S C Med Assoc; 2014; 110(1):12-3. PubMed ID: 27125005.
    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.
