Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is rare, and patients are often asymptomatic or have nonspecific symptoms. Appendicectomy should be performed with care and limited handling of the appendix, with extraction of the specimen through an extraction bag to prevent perforation and spillage of mucin, which can result in the development of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). This case report aims to shed light on the approach to appendicular mucocele in contemporary medicine. The reported case shows a presentation of mucocele in a young female patient with symptoms compatible with appendicitis. This case report serves as an example of how to diagnose, manage, and follow-up on appendicular mucocele treatment for colleagues who may encounter similar conditions.
