RESUMO
Mucocele is an unusual lesion of the appendix characterized by accumulation of mucoid substance inside the appendix, which occurs as a sequel of luminal obstruction, usually by fibrous tissue. Diagnosis is intraoperative in most of the cases. We discuss the clinical, anatomicopathological and therapeutics aspects of the disease.
