Laparoscopic appendectomy for appendiceal mucocele in an 83 years old woman

Figure 1 Preoperative contrast enhanced multidetector computed tomography images demonstrated a 4 cm x 3. 5 cm x 3 cm, blind ending, tubular, fluid-filled structure (arrow) that appeared to arise from the cecum, consistent with mucocele of the appendix.
