Abstract

Appendix mucoceles and pseudomyxoma peritonei are commonly tested in surgical postgraduate examinations, but are rare to see in practice. Understanding their pathology, diagnosis, management, and prognosis will support decision making of surgeons in training via a colorectal multidisciplinary team. This article aims to serve as a short, accessible guide for medical students and surgical trainees preparing for examinations.
