Appendicular mucocele is a low incidence neoplasm with a frequency of 2 cases per 10,000 laparotomies. It is found in 0.2 to 0.3% of all appendectomies, with a higher incidence in women after the fifth or sixth decade of life. It is considered a benign lesion, although in some occasions, approximately 20% of cases it is associated with neoplasms of other intra-abdominal organs. Authors present the case of a 88-year-old patient with clinical findings consistent with acute appendicitis resolved with a simple appendicectomy based on the macroscopic findings during surgery.

AbstractEctopic adrenal tissue in the ovary is a rare entity. We reported a case of ectopic adrenal tissue in borderline mucinous cystadenoma of the left ovary. A 22 year-old student presented with progressive abdomen distension associated with discomfort for 3 months. Imaging investigation was suggestive of mucinous left ovarian cyst. Left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and the histopathology revealed borderline mucinous cystadenoma with an incidental finding of ectopic adrenal tissue. This is an interesting case because of its rarity and potential risk of neoplasm changes.
