Popis:	Mucocele of the appendix, a rare lesion, occurs in 0.2-0.3 % of patients undergoing appendectomy and caecocolic appendiceal intussusception is an extremely uncommon complication of mucocele. Calcification of a mucocele is believed to denote chronicity. We present the case of a patient we treated who displayed both these two entities, focusing on the diagnostic approach and differential diagnosis led by clinical examination and imaging methods. A brief literature review is included.
