ABSTRACT
A fifty year old female was admitted with a painful mass in the right iliac fossa, bleeding per rectum and occasional vomiting. A presumptive diagnosis of ileocecal intussusception due to colonic polyp was made on the basis of barium enema and abdominal ultrasound. However, exploratory laparotomy revealed intussusception of a benign mucocele of the appendix, which was later confirmed on histopathological examination. It is a rare entity and the first to be reported in Pakistan. A review of relevant literature follows the case report
