Abstract

Interval appendectomy (IA) following nonoperative management with broad-spectrum antibiotics for complicated appendicitis with peri-appendiceal abscess is a one of the beneficial treatment options in children. However, during intervals, the protocol of follow-up blood examination and imaging studies including US/CT/MRI and the treatment policy for the recurrent cases, are not established. Herein, we presented a case which was diagnosed as primary appendiceal Burkitt lymphoma during the treatment policy of IA in a child, and discuss about unusual pitfall of IA policy.
