Abstract
Introduction: Small bowel obstruction due to an appendiceal mucocele is comparatively rare.
Case Report: A rare case of a small bowel obstruction due to a mucocele of the appendix, which had been histopathologically diagnosed as a mucinous cystadenoma. Partial resection of the ileum and appendectomy through traditional laparotomy relieved the patient from abdominal pain and congestion from the intestinal obstruction.
Conclusion: Small bowel obstruction due to an appendiceal mucocele should be considered among the differential diagnosis of intestinal obstruction for patients who have no previous history of laparotomy.

Key Words: Appendix, Mucocele, Cystadenoma, Small bowel obstruction
