Abstract
We report a rare case of a 78-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain and a right groin mass. Imaging revealed an inguinoscrotal hernia involving part of the large intestine, leading to anatomical distortion. Intraoperatively, an appendix with mucinous dilation was discovered and resected; histopathology confirmed an appendiceal mucocele (AM). This rare combination presents diagnostic challenges and requires prompt surgical intervention to prevent complications such as pseudomyxoma peritonei.
