    Author: Aslam MB, Hasan N.
    Journal: Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg; 2009 Sep; 15(5):509-10. PubMed ID: 19779995.
    Abstract:
    An extremely rare case of torsion of an appendix epiploica attached to the vermiform appendix is reported in a 57-year-old male who presented with acute abdominal pain and tender right inguinal fossa. An infarcted appendix epiploica was seen attached near the tip of an otherwise unremarkable vermiform appendix through a narrow stalk. The histological examination revealed lobulated fibrofatty tissue showing congestion, acute inflammation and fat necrosis. The appendix was otherwise unremarkable.
