Superinfection of an Obstructive Appendiceal Mucocele: A Case Report.

Appendiceal mucocele is an uncommon entity that may arise due to benign or malignant processes. The radiologic exploration of this entity is necessary for diagnosis, and its imaging manifestations vary, with some findings being more common than others. More specifically, the radiological findings of a superinfected mucocele are rare, with few reports in the literature. Herein we present the case of a 68-year-old male patient with a superinfected appendiceal obstructive mucocele caused by a fecalith, which was diagnosed by abdominal CT evaluation.
