OBJECTIVE: To report a case of @entity1695 arising from mucocele of the appendix and review the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this appendiceal pathology of interest in urology. METHODS: A 71-year-old female @entity1 that had previously undergone radical gynecological surgery and postoperative radiotherapy presented with @entity158 . @entity1 evaluation by ultrasound, IVP and CT showed a pelvic mass causing right @entity1695 . Release and reinsertion of the right ureter and appendectomy were performed. RESULTS: The anatomopathological study showed an appendiceal @entity8940 . The @entity1 is asymptomatic after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Appendiceal mucocele is a dilatation of the vermiform appendix due to collection of mucoid material that is frequently produced by a @entity9296 . The presenting feature is usually that of @entity697 . The definitive diagnosis is based on the anatomopathological findings. Treatment is by appendectomy for the @entity5 and by right hemicolectomy in a second stage procedure for @entity5 . This appendiceal pathology should be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of right @entity1695 .
