[Mucocele of the appendix. Some diagnostic features].
The description of a case of mucocele of the appendix shows the difficulties of arriving at a preoperative diagnosis. Following an analysis of the diagnostic features it's possible to affirm that only surgery can confirm the diagnosis with the histological result. Careful surgical dissection is very important when a malignant tumor is suspected.
