Abstract

Mucocele is a rare entity of the appendix associated with either neoplastic or non-neoplastic mucinous lesions of the appendix. Understanding the pathology and natural history is essential for early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. However, the approach and extent of surgical intervention poses a technical challenge to the surgeon. The paper reviews the pathology, diagnosis and management of this condition.
