Abstract
- Appendiceal mucocele denotes an obstructive dilatation of appendiceal lumen due to abnormal accumulation of mucus and relatively rare disease with its 0.2~0.3% incidence of all appendices removed at surgery. It is not easy to diagnose appendiceal mucocele preoperatively because most of them are asymtomatic and discovered incidentally either at surgery or other medical examinations such as ultrasonography or colonoscopy for another reason. We report a case of appendiceal mucinous cystadenoma of 57-year-old woman who was admitted for further evaluations about her positive fecal occult blood test and microhematuria which was found on her medical examination for health incidentally.
