  • In a CT, the distinction between a mucocele and a mucous retention cyst can be made on the basis of the presence of air outlining the upper surface of the mass. (jalanetipot.com)
  • The distinction becomes less important when the lesion is large, as the treatment is similar for such a large mucous retention cyst as it is for a mucocele. (jalanetipot.com)
  • They affect primarily the ethmoid cells in diffuse and bilateral impairment, causing secondary mucous thickness and/or retention of secretion in other cavities. (bjorl.org)
  • Appendiceal mucocele is found in 0.3 to 0.7% of the appendectomies. (wikipedia.org)
