“…Although first mentioned by Karl Freiherr von Rokitansky in 1842, Fere in 1877 coined the term mucocele and described it as appendicular dilatation secondary to accumulation of mucinous material in the lumen [ 8 – 14 ]. Factors, mentioned earlier by Rasch, leading to mucocele can be stenosis of appendiceal lumen with unabated mucus production and an absence of infection [ 8 , 9 , 13 ].…”

Mucocele of the appendix is the accumulation of mucoid material in the appendiceal lumen. Although the terminology is imprecise, as it does not differentiate between the benign and malignant nature of the condition, preoperative recognition is imperative as spillage of the mucus during surgical handling can result in grave complications like pseudomyxoma peritonei. Mucocele developing in a stump of the appendix, i.e., a remnant of appendiceal tissue after surgical removal of an inflamed organ, is an extremely uncommon phenomenon, as not many cases are reported in the literature. In this review, all cases reported in English literature are discussed.

Background: The analysis of the data presented in the foreign and national literature shows that a combination of the appendix mucocele and calculous cholecystitis is extremely rare, and the implementation of simultaneous surgical treatment in the laparoscopic version is the optimal approach. Clinical case description. Here, we present a clinical case of chronic calculous cholecystitis in combination with mucocele of the appendix in an 84-year-old patient. The main complaint was pulling pain in the right iliac region. The diagnosis was made on the basis of the main and additional methods of examination: clinical picture, ultrasound, multispiral computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the abdominal organs. In a planned manner, a simultaneous surgical intervention was performed consisting of laparoscopic appendectomy and cholecystectomy. The operation duration was 1 hour 15 minutes. The morphological examination confirmed the diagnosis of calculous cholecystitis and mucocele of the appendix. The patient was discharged in a satisfactory condition on the 4th day. Conclusion. This clinical case shows that the dynamic observation of mucocele of the appendix, even in elderly patients with a comorbid pathology, is unjustified. A simultaneous surgical intervention in the form of laparoscopic appendectomy and cholecystectomy treats the two nosologies and prevents repeated hospitalization and surgery.
