  • Title: Appendicular abscess presenting as neoplastic ileocecal obstruction.
    Author: Rosati C, Huang SN, Ali J.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1991 Aug; 34(4):381-4. PubMed ID: 1868397.
    Abstract:
    Most complications after appendectomy occur within weeks of the operation. The authors present a case in which an appendicular abscess presented more than 18 years after appendectomy for acute appendicitis. The abscess simulated a neoplastic obstructive process, and a communication was demonstrated between the cecum and the abscess cavity through the appendiceal stump.
