Zusammenfassung:Appendiceal mucocele is a rare pathology involving distention of the appendix due to mucus accumulation. Treatment consists of appendectomy as well as right hemicolectomy in patients with signs or suspicion of malignancy. Aymand hernia is a rare inguinal hernia in which the appendix is located within the inguinal canal. Simultaneous appendectomy and hernia repair using prostetic mesh is recommended. Aymand hernia is rarely seen together with appendix mucocele. Herein we report a patient scheduled for repair surgery for incarcerated hernia in whom appendiceal mucocele was detected in preoperative examinations, and we discuss the case in light of the literature.
