Abstract
Appendiceal mucocoele is characterized by cystic dilation of the lumen due to obstruction and consequent accumulation of mucus The incidence is 02–03 and is more common in elderly women Only 50 of patients are symptomatic in the rest it is incidentally detected during surgery 1 A preoperative diagnosis is rarely made CT scan and ultrasonogram are valuable in establishing the diagnosis At CT scan mucocoele appears as a wellencapsulated round thinwalled cystic mass Presence of curvilinear or punctuate wall calcification strongly suggests the diagnosis 2 All these CT characteristics were seen in our patient as well
