Abstract
Mucocele of Appendix is a gross or clinical descriptive term for dilatation of the appendiceal lumen by mucus.It is a rare pathology with an overall incidence of 0.2 to 0.3% of all appendectomies. Majority of these cases present with mucocele involved whole length of the appendix. On extensive literature search,exact incidence of mucocele confined only to the tip of appendix is not known, though there are very few case reports. Here we report a peculiar case of large mucocele of appendix confined only to the tip, sparing significant length of proximal appendix and causing diagnostic dilemma pre-operatively in a 43 -years -old lady.
