Ovarian cyst mimicking appendiceal mucocele

Abstract

Right lower quadrant pain is a common symptom encountered in surgical practice. In some cases, the diagnosis may not be clear. Many diseases can mimic surgical conditions and lead to unnecessary or inappropriate surgical treatment. Ovarian cyst is one of these conditions and is a common gynecological problem that can be seen in women of all ages. Radiologically, it can mimic appendiceal mucocele. The aim of this article is to present a case of ovarian cyst mimicking appendiceal mucocele and to discuss the importance of differential diagnostic reflections and appropriate treatment.
