ABSTRACT
Appendiceal mucoceles are rare lesions. There has been only one report of a mucocele of the remnant appendix not communicating with the cecum. We report a remnant appendiceal mucocele following an incomplete incidental appendectomy, which presented as a lobulated cystic mass on ultrasonography and a cystic mass with an irregular wall on computed tomography. A borderline malignant mucinous tumor of the appendix was diagnosed.
