INTRODUCTION Appendiceal mucoceles encompass neoplastic and non-neoplastic causes of a distended Appendix filled with mucus. Appendectomy is recommended when an appendiceal mucocele is identified, incidentally or otherwise, in the event it is secondary to a malignancy. For an intact mucocele, it is critically important to avoid rupturing the mucocele during resection, as rupture of a neoplastic...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To describe clinical characteristics of oral mucoceles/ranulas, with a focus on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related salivary gland diseases. STUDY DESIGN A descriptive and clinical study, with review of patient data. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed 113 referred cases of oral mucocele. The following anatomical sites were identified: lip, tongue, and floor of the...

BACKGROUND Salivary mucocele is an accumulation of saliva in a single or multiloculated cavity lined by connective tissue that is contiguous to a salivary gland-duct complex and is the most common condition affecting the salivary glands in dogs. Occasionally, different types of metaplastic lesions, such as squamous and osseous metaplasia - which are rare lesions in animals - can be observed in ...

Appendiceal mucocele formation can be induced by mechanical obstruction due to various reasons; In very rare cases, mucosal prolapse of the appendix also cause mucocele. We first present case a 38-year-old woman who was diagnosed with appendiceal associated prolapse. The lesion found colonoscopy and treated surgically. On examining specimen, it revealed dilated lumen containing mucinous fluid a...

Mucocele is a common benign lesion in the oral cavity. It caused by excess of mucous secretion as result injury and lip biting habits or any abnormalities minor salivary glands. Mucoceles are generally painless but can cause discomfort to patients while eating speaking. mainly diagnosed with help clinical features. Very few mucoceles resolve without treatment, majority surgically removed. The r...

Mucoceles of the sphenoid sinus are rare and may frequently remain undiagnosed until symptoms due to compression of surrounding structures set in. In such cases, the optic nerve, because of its close proximity to the sphenoid sinus, is at risk, and pressure exerted by the mucocele may result in visual impairment. A case of a sphenoid sinus mucocele with sudden-onset unilateral blindness as the ...

The onodi cell is a posterior ethmoidal cell that is pneumatized laterally or superiorly to the sphenoid sinus with close proximity to the optic nerve. A mucocele, a benign, expansile, cyst-like lesion of the paranasal sinuses, may uncommonly involve the onodi cell causing compression of the optic nerve and nearby structures. In this paper, we report a rare case of onodi cell mucocele causing o...

Surgery is the treatment of choice, and should be done early as tumor cannot be ruled out as the causative factor for the mucocele. Pre-operative diagnosis is important, to avoid unintended rupture and the development of pseudomyxoma peritonei during surgery. Laparoscopic resection has been used with good results.4,7 However, laparoscopic dissection, grasping of the appendix specimen, pneumoper...
