Villous papilloma of the appendix associated with mucocoele and intussusception

PMCID: PMC2495643  PMID: 4467863

Abstract

A case of villous papilloma of the appendix, associated with mucocoele formation and intussusception, is described. The literature is reviewed and it appears that there is no previous report of this association. It is suggested that so-called malignant mucocoeles of the appendix arise from pre-existing villous papillomas.
