Appendiceal mucocele masquerading as an epithelial borderline ovarian tumor: A case report from Somalia
This case highlights the critical importance of clinical suspicion for appendiceal mucoceles, even when initial radiological findings are inconclusive. The lack of intraoperative pathology consultation underscores the need for specialized pathology services in resource-limited settings. Given the increased risk of colonic adenocarcinoma, multidisciplinary collaboration and diligent post-operative surveillance are crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.
