A 57-year-old obese, diabetic woman, presented with 1 day history of purulent umbilical discharge. She was vitally stable and afebrile. Abdominal examination revealed a full abdomen with purulent discharge from the umbilicus, swelling with erythema and induration surrounding the umbilicus. Lab tests were normal. Initial impression was abdominal wall abscess. Ultrasound showed subcutaneous fluid collection. Non-contrast CT showed collection and abdominal wall defect at the umbilicus. On exploration of the abscess cavity, there were two defects (umbilical and supraumbilical) with appendix protruding through the umbilical defect and a part of a small bowel and omentum adherent to the other defect. Wash was given, bowel and omentum were released and appendectomy was performed. Histopathology showed mucinous cystadenoma with periappendicitis. We would like to highlight the rare occurrence of an appendiceal mucinous cystadenoma in such a clinical presentation.

Appendicular mucocele is a low incidence neoplasm with a frequency of 2 cases per 10,000 laparotomies. It is found in 0.2 to 0.3% of all appendectomies, with a higher incidence in women after the fifth or sixth decade of life. It is considered a benign lesion, although in some occasions, approximately 20% of cases it is associated with neoplasms of other intra-abdominal organs. Authors present the case of a 88-year-old patient with clinical findings consistent with acute appendicitis resolved with a simple appendicectomy based on the macroscopic findings during surgery.
