Abstract:

Appendiceal mucocele is a rare disease. Sometimes it is discovered accidentally and sometimes it resembles acute appendicitis. The incidence is 0.2% to 0.7% of all appendectomies specimens. A case report of A 35-year female presented to the emergency room with a history of progressively increasing abdominal pain on and off for 3 months. Tenderness in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen was noted with a palpable mass in the right iliac fossa. An abdominal ultrasound examination was performed, and the patient was found to have an Appendicular mucocele-onion peel sign (sonographic layering within a cystic mass). The patient underwent surgery, and the diagnosis was confirmed by the histopathological report. If mucocele is treated incorrectly, pseudomyxoma peritonei which is characterized by a malignant process may develop. The term mucocele is widely used in diagnosing both benign and malignant lesions.

Key words: Appendicular mucocele, Onion peel sign, Intraluminal accumulation of mucoid material, Benign lesions, Malignant potential, Resection
