Abstract

El mucocele apendicular es una rara lesión caracterizada por distensión de la luz debido a la acumulación de mucina. En la mayoría de los casos se trata de una lesión benigna. Es a menudo asintomático o tiene formas de presentación atípicas, que hacen que el diagnóstico temprano sea infrecuente, y la mayoría son diagnosticados mediante estudios imagenológicos o intraoperatoriamente. Se presentan tres casos de mucocele apendicular operados con diagnóstico de quiste de ovario, apendicitis aguda y tumor de colon, respectivamente. A pesar de su poca frecuencia y su forma de presentación atípica, debe tomarse en cuenta la posibilidad diagnóstica de mucocele apendicular en las lesiones tumorales del cuadrante inferior derecho del abdomen.
