Abstract
|
|
|
Mucocele of the appendix is uncommon and rarely diagnosed preoperatively. The malignant countpart-i. e. mucinous cystadenocarcinoma-has the same gross appearance and many microscopic features in common with the benign form. It may be associated
with
ovarian mucinous cystadenoma of strikingly similar microscopic appearance. A serious complication is a rupture of the mucocele resulting in pseudomyxoma peritonei. Each case of benign and malignant mucocele of the appendix falsely diagnosed as an
ovarian tumor before laparotomy are presented with a brief review of the literatures.
