Appendiceal mucocele is a rare disease and has a clinical picture that resembles acute appendicitis. A correct diagnosis before surgery is very important for the selection of surgical technique (appendicectomy/colectomy) to avoid severe intraoperative and postoperative complications. Here, we are presenting a case of 50 years old female admitted with chief complaints of right iliac fossa pain for 4 months. With the help of USG and CECT preoperative diagnosis of Appendiceal Mucocele was made. Appendicectomy was performed. Intraoperatively a appendiceal mucocele with dimensions 6 cm × 5 was found and appendicectomy was done. Histopathological diagnosis reported, recurrent appendicitis with mucinecks in the luminal surface. After 6 months of surgery patient is doing well with no postoperative complications. In our opinion every Conclusion : patient more than 50 years old presenting in emergency department with clinical symptoms of acute appendicitis must undergo CT and open surgery should be favored against laparoscopic surgery
