Mucocele of the appendix is a term used to describe a dilated, mucin-filled appendix. It is most commonly the result of epithelial proliferation, but can be caused by inflammation or obstruction of the appendix. Two cases of mucocele of the appendix are presented with a discussion of the histologic and radiologic features as well as the surgical management.
