Appendiceal mucocele may be benign or neoplastic, whick require further surgery even asymptomatic.
Next Steps
Required Preoperative Evaluation:- Diagnosis by imaging: CT scan/ultrasound to characterize size, wall features and rule out signs of rupture or spread. Evaluate for PMP signs (peritoneal mucin, ascites, implants). Tumour markers (CEA, CA 19-9) may assist but are non-specific.
