Mukokéla apendixu je obstrukční dilatace apendixu, která vzniká v důsledku vyplnění jeho lumen hlenem. Jedná se o vzácný stav, který je u poloviny pacientů asymptomatický. Jeho závažnost závisí na příčině vzniku dilatace apendixu. V malém procentu případů dochází k ruptuře dilatovaného apendixu s rozvojem závažné komplikace, která se označuje jako pseudomyxom peritonea. Protože část mukokél vzniká na maligním podkladě, je tento stav většinou řešen chirurgickou resekcí.

Appendiceal mucocele is an obstructive dilatation of the appendix, which results from the filling of its lumen with mucus. This is a rare condition that is asymptomatic in half of the patients. Its severity depends on the cause of appendiceal dilatation. In a small percentage of cases, the dilated appendix ruptures, leading to the development of serious complication; this is termed as pseudomyxoma peritonei. Due to the possibility of malignant etiology of the mucocele, surgical resection remains an essential part of the treatment.
