Title: CT Features with Histopathological Correlation in Inflammatory Versus Benign &
Malignant Neoplastic Appendiceal Mucoceles: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study
Version: 1 Date: 27 Oct 2024
Reviewer's report:
Appendiceal mucoceles are rare entities and research data are correspondingly rare. Therefore,
this manuscripts provides an excellent overview and new insights, relevant for the clinical
practice.
However, I would recommend adding further data and images to the manuscript to increase its
clinical relevance:
- Please add additional images of different types of mucoceles to facilitate the diagnosis
- A very relevant limitation of the study is mentioned in the discussion - the authors did not
compare mucoceles with cases of acute appendicitis. Given that almost 1/3 of the patients
with mucoleceles present with signs of acute appendicitis, it is the most relevant differential
diagnosis. The authors should compare exsisiting research data with their imaging findings to
guide readers through this issue.
