Appendiceal mucocele is a rare disease. Sometimes it is discovered accidentally and sometimes it resembles acute appendicitis. Correct diagnosis before surgery is important for the selection of adequate surgical treatment to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications. Ultrasonography, and particularly computed tomography, should be used extensively for this purpose. If mucocele is treated incorrectly, pseudomyxoma peritonei may develop. We present a case of 22 year old man who was admitted to the emergency department with the signs of acute appendicitis. Emergency open appendectomy was performed. At the time of surgery, a cystic mass was found at the tip of the inflammed appendix. No free fluid was found in the peritoneal cavity. Diagnosis of Mucocele of appendix was suspected. Appendectomy was done and specimen sent for histopathological examination. No lymphadenopathy. Histopathologic diagnosis was subacute appendicitis, mucocele of appendix with simple mucous cyst. Patient is on regular follow-up.

“…Although some studies do not recommend laparoscopic method in the surgical treatment of mucoceles due to the risk of rupture (6,8), Chiu reported that laparoscopic appendectomy is appropriate when performed carefully (12). In the second case, we preferred to perform laparoscopic appendectomy and close follow-up.…”

Four mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix treated by different approachesAppendiceal mucocele is a rare clinical entity characterized by dilatation of the appendiceal lumen due to abnormal mucinous secretion. It may be of inflammatory or tumoral origin. It may occur as a result of mucoceles, mucosal hyperplasia, mucinous cystadenoma or mucinous cystadenocarcinoma. Mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix is the most common form, although it manifests itself in many different clinical presentations. It is detected in 0.6% of appendectomy specimens. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult, and it is often detected at laparotomy. Despite existing reservations due to the risk of rupture, laparoscopic surgery is gaining acceptance. Although there is no consensus on the choice of surgery, either appendectomy or right hemicolectomy is applied. In this article, we discussed four patients with appendix mucinous cystadenoma where different surgical methods were applied in light of the literature.

Appendiceal mucocele is a rare disease. Sometimes it is discovered accidentally and sometimes it resembles acute appendicitis. Correct diagnosis before surgery is very important for the selection of adequate surgical treatment to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications. Ultrasonography, and particularly computed tomography, should be used extensively for this purpose. If mucocele is treated incorrectly pseudomyxoma peritonei, which is characterized by malignant process, may develop. We present a case of a 54-year-old man who was admitted to the emergency department with the signs of acute appendicitis. Open surgery was performed. At the time of surgery, a cystic mass of the appendix with dimensions 7 3 4 33 cm, with inflamed walls, but without perforation was discovered in the right iliac fossa. No discharge was found in the peritoneal cavity. Diagnosis of mucocele was suspected. Only appendectomy was performed because no pathologic process was found in the base of the appendix and lymph nodes were not increased in size. Hystopathologic diagnosis was mucinous cystadenoma. After 2 years, the patient is feeling well.
