Appendiceal Mucocele is a rare disease. Sometimes, it discovered accidentally and sometimes mimic acute appendicitis. Correct diagnosis before surgery very crucial for the selection of adequate surgical treatment to avoid Intraoperative Postoperative complication. Ultrasonography particularly, computed Tomography should be used extensively this purpose. If mucocele appendix treated incorrectly ...

Background: Mucoceles are slowly expanding cystic lesions with respiratory epithelium containing mucus most commonly affecting the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses. They are caused by obstruction of sinus ostium. Mucoceles exert pressure on the bony boundaries and due to the proximity to the brain and orbit extension to these areas are common. Case presentation: A case of a frontal mucocele with a...

The Mucocele are benign mucous containing cystic lesion of salivary gland mainly of traumatic origin. The wall of this cavity is formed by compressed bundles of collagen fibrils and it is filled with mucin. Mucoceles are known to occur most commonly on the lower lip, followed by the floor of mouth and buccal mucosa being the next most frequent sites. This paper presents oral mucosal lesion on l...

Mucoceles of the appendix are a group of mucus-filled lesions causing obstructive dilation of the ileocecal appendix. We report a rare case of giant appendiceal mucocele. A 48-year-old woman, with no discomfort, was admitted to our hospital after a mass was detected in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. The patient underwent right hemicolectomy on the basis of the clinical diagnosis of a ...

Mucocele forms because of salivary gland mucous extravasation or retention and is usually related to trauma in the area of the lower lips. Ruptured ducts release the mucous that accumulates into adjacent tissues, leading to swelling. This report describes a large mucocele involving the lower lip, which was produced in a child by incorrect use of a pacifier. A few important concepts are discusse...

IN recent years, considerable interest has developed in the phenomenon of sphenoid sinus mucocele (Lundgren and Olin, 1961). Important factors are the critical location of this sinus and the various vital structures which may be involved by an essentially benign pathological process originating within its boundaries. We have recently treated a patient in whom the pre-operative diagnosis was tha...

Correspondence: Florin Savulescu, MD, PhD, e-mail: [email protected] The appendicular mucocele is a rarely encountered pathology in clinical practice, with an occurrence rate of 0.2% of all appendectomies, it usually affects people older than 50 years. We present the case of a patient, 40 years old, with no significant pathological and heredocolaterale history, which was hospitalized in our clini...

Purpose. To report on a patient with compressive optic neuropathy secondary to an Onodi cell mucocele, who fully recovered visual function following surgery. Method. Case report. Results. A 28-year-old male was admitted with a right visual acuity of 20/100 following treatment for an initial diagnosis of optic neuritis. Subsequent examination suggested compressive optic neuropathy, and neuroimag...

Treatment of frontal sinus disease represents one of the most challenging aspects of endoscopic sinus surgery. Frontal sinus mucocele drainage may be an exception to the rule because in many instances, the expansion of the mucocele widens the frontal sinus recess and renders surgical drainage technically undemanding. Recently, there has been an increased interest in in-office procedures in otol...

Appendiceal mucocele is a rare clinical entity, which is however quite often associated with mucinous ovarian tumor. The coexistence of mucinous cystadenoma of the appendix and endometrial adenocarcinoma has not been reported before. A 49-year-old woman presented to our clinic with postmenopausal bleeding and no other symptom. Endometrial biopsy revealed endometrial adenocarcinoma of endometrio...
