Abstract

Appendiceal mucocele is a rare disorder of the vermiform appendix, occurring predominantly in the sixth or seventh decades, and has a distinct female predominance. Very few cases have been reported in the endoscopic literature. We report two patients with appendiceal mucocele, describe and show the colonoscopic appearance of these tumors, and review the literature.
