Abstract :

Mucocele of appendix is seen rarely in appendectomies. Out of these, very few are associated with colorectal tumours with pseudomyxoma formation. These tumours are mostly mucinous cystadenomas or cystadenocarcinomas. We present a very rare case where a 54 year old patient presented with psoas abscess following appendectomy for mucocele of appendix; incision and drainage was done; after a few months, he again came with mucous discharge from a sinus in the right lumbar region and later found to have papillary adenocarcinoma of caecum with retroperitoneal collection of mucoid material
