Clinical presentation is non specific, Majority of cases presents to gynaecologists with suspicion of adnexal pathology. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult to arrive at, given the findings of USG and CT may be confusing.

Patient underwent surgery with exicision of the appendix. Conclusion: A female patient presenting with complaints of lower abdominal pain with no findings in pelvis should be considered for differential diagnosis of Appendiceal mucocele.
