Abstract
Mucocele of the appendix is an unusual clinical entity. Despite a recognized constellation of findings, the diagnosis is not usually made prior to surgical exploration. A 35 year old man is reported in whom clinical evaluation, including US and CT scans, resulted in the correct preoperative diagnosis confirmed at surgery and leading to appropriate operative decisions.
