“…The magnetic resonance imaging shows if mucocele appendicular, cystic mass hypointense on T1-weighted images, and hyperintense on T2-weighted images, with a thick wall, enhancing gradually and uniformly after injection of gadolinium (14) . MRI is only useful in evaluating the extension of peritoneal pseudomyxoma in the aftermath of a perforation of the mucocele (3) , it shows the gelatinous masses, hepatic and splenic scalloping, septa intraascitiques (15) and can differentiate tissue implants in the peritoneal effusion T2 in sequence. In our case, the imaging magnetic resonance revealed the presence of carcinomatosis.…”

Mucocele appendicular or tumor mucosécrétante appendicular is a rare disease, defined as a cystic dilation of the light Appendix following intraluminal accumulation of mucinous secretion, translucent, gelatinous. The clinical picture may take several forms. Radiology has an important place for diagnosis. Treatment is primarily surgical; adjuvant treatment is reserved for repeat offenses. We report a case of appendicular mucocele simulating an ovarian tumor collects in the breast gynecology division of the National Institute of Oncology Rabat.

The mucocele of appendix or mucosecreting tumor is a rare affection defined as a cystic dilatation of the light of the appendix following the intra luminal accumulation of mucinous, translucent, gelatinous, secretion which may reach either the entire organ or a segment more often distal. The pathogenesisis is discussed; the diagnosis is more often preoperative. The therapeutic depends on the histological nature. This goes from the simple appendicectomy, whose shapes are benign to the right hemicolectomy in the malignant mucocele. We report a case collaged in the general surgical service of the 5 th Military Hospital.
