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.

Methods: This was a therapeutic outcomes study of patients who underwent mucous cystectomy under local anesthesia by 1 of 2 hand fellowship-trained surgeons between 2012 and 2022. The key features of the surgical technique include designing a random nonadvancement flap with the cyst at its base; transecting the cyst pedicle as the flap is elevated; resecting the cyst wall from the undersurface of the reflected flap; decompressing the distal joint by removing marginal osteophytes; and insetting the flap without advancement.

Department of Dermatology, Cutaneous Biology Research Institute, Severance Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea; and.
Article Synopsis
- Digital mucous cysts (DMCs) are benign growths found in finger joints and around nails, and existing treatments often lead to recurrences due to a lack of standardized guidelines.* -

Article Synopsis
- Mucous cysts are benign, recurrent lesions found on the back of fingers, often near the nail, and can affect the nail itself.
- They are linked to osteoarthritis, with bony growths (osteophytes) possibly playing a role in their occurrence.
- The best way to prevent these cysts from coming back is through surgery that cleans out the joint and removes the cyst.
Effects of Postoperative Splinting on Outcomes following Digital Mucous Cyst Excision: A Retrospective Review.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Digital mucous cysts (DMCs) can be surgically excised, but there’s a risk of postoperative infections that could lead to complications like septic arthritis.
- A study evaluated the impact of postoperative splinting on infection rates and antibiotic use, reviewing data from 373 patients who had DMC excisions between 2011 and 2021.
- Results showed that while splinting resulted in a lower rate of prescribed postoperative antibiotics compared to nonsplinted patients, this difference wasn’t statistically significant; there were also more antibiotics given than typical infection rates suggest.

Department of Gastroenterology, Tokai University School of Medicine, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- A 71-year-old woman had a submucosal lesion found during a colonoscopy, and imaging showed a 12-mm structure at the appendix's base.
- Initially, the lesion was not visible on a CT scan nine months later, but it did show signs of enlargement a year later, prompting further examinations like CS and EUS.
- The final diagnosis after the laparoscopic removal of the lesion was low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN), noted for the unique observation of the appendix shrinking and then re-expanding.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, School of Dentistry, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the accuracy of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in diagnosing structural variations in the nose for rhinoplasty, focusing on patients with snoring and sleep apnea.
- - Conducted on 64 candidates, it evaluates key anatomical variations like Nasal Septum Deviation (NSD), with results showing that CBCT had an accuracy of 80% for NSD and 75% for Mucocele.
- - The findings suggest CBCT is a reliable imaging method for assessing nasal anatomy before rhinoplasty due to its high sensitivity and specificity, making it beneficial for pre-surgical evaluations.
Article Synopsis
- - Digital mucous cysts are benign, recurrent tumors found at the finger joints, often related to osteoarthritis, with multiple treatment options but no clear consensus on the best approach.
- - A study involving 15 patients without osteoarthritis examined a novel non-surgical injection technique to treat these cysts, focusing on outcomes and complications over a 6-month follow-up period.
- - Results showed an 80% complete resolution of cysts with no reported complications, suggesting this method is an effective, low-cost, and non-invasive alternative, particularly for patients without degenerative joint changes.
