Abstract
 is an extremely rare pathology accounting for 0.3-0.7% of all appendiceal pathology. It is characterized by appendiceal lumen dilatation by mucinous secretion collection. Though abdominal imaging and tissue Biopsy aids in diagnosis, suspicion should arise when a slight bulge or protrusion is seen on colonoscopy. We present a case of incidental appendiceal bulge found on a routine colonoscopy to evaluate abdominal pain that led to prompt diagnosis and management of appendiceal mucocele.
