[Appendiceal mucocele causing pseudomyxoma peritonei].
The authors present the case of a very rare pseudomyxoma peritonei as a late complication of appendectomy. The definite diagnosis was established 11 years after appendectomy for appendiceal mucocele. In the paper the authors emphasize the need for correct retrospective evaluation of all data in patients with unusual diagnoses.
