Résumé

Abstract Appendicular mucocele is a rare condition defined by a mucinous distention of the appendicular lumen. The most severe complication is the intra-peritoneum rupture also called pseudomyxoma peritonei. Diagnosis and resection are important since some appendiceal mucoceles are malignant with pseudomyxoma peritonei. Ultrasonography and especially computed tomography can enable a presumptive diagnosis of an appendiceal mucocele. Histological analysis is indispensable to achieve specific surgical management. In this paper we report a clinical case of a 34 -year-old patient admitted for management of abdominal pain evoking appendicitis completed by CT scan showing appendicular mucocele
