| Abstract: | Mucocele of the appendix is a rare lesion caused by abnormal accumulation of mucus. Although preoperative diagnosis is important to avoid rupture of a mucocele, the diagnosis is often made at surgery. We report a case of an appendiceal mucocele that mimicked a hydrosalpinx on CT and MRI. |
