摘要：
Mucocele is an uncommon pathology of the vermiform appendix that can be confused with acute appendicitis. We present a case of an appendiceal mucocele associated with subacute, intermittent right lower quadrant discomfort. The diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele is an important one in that it can be associated with malignancies and other serious gastrointestinal, ovarian, and urological complications.
