An appendiceal mucocele is a rare clinical entity often mimicking that of acute appendicitis in a majority of cases leading to incidental intraoperative findings. Nevertheless, appropriate diagnosis is vital prior to surgery to prevent complications such as pseudomyxoma peritonei. This report details a case of a man in his 70s, who was admitted to the emergency department with right iliac fossa pain with imaging showing wall thickening of the caecum and the ascending colon.

Appendiceal mucinous cystadenoma presenting as "porcelain" appendix with myxoglobulosis--a rare cause of a right lower quadrant mass.
Singapore Med J

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Singapore General Hospital.
Mucinous cystadenoma is a rare tumour of the vermiform appendix and is associated with cystic dilatation of the appendix, to which the more general term of mucocoele has been applied. Mucocoele of the appendix is only a descriptive term for abnormal mucus accumulation causing distension of the appendiceal lumen, irrespective of the underlying cause. Pre-operative diagnosis of appendix mucocoele, though infrequently made, is important as some of these lesions may be malignant, and also is essential in order to avoid the risk of rupture at surgery with subsequent development of pseudomyxoma peritonei.
