Appendiceal mucocele

Abdomen & Pelvis

An appendiceal mucocele is a widening of the appendix caused by a build-up of mucus inside it. Most are harmless but some are linked to a low-grade tumour. An MRI may show a widened fluid-filled appendix consistent with a mucocele. Finding an appendiceal mucocele early may allow for surgical removal before it ruptures or causes complications.

SCReening explained
It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
