Abstract
Epiploic appendagitis is a rare condition that may present with acute abdominal pain and it mimics appendicitis when it occurs on the right side [1]. In a series of 1320 cases of acute abdominal pain by Golash only eight cases were due to acute epiploic appendagitis [2]. Though there are case reports of epiploic appendagitis presenting as acute abdomen, it is seldom considered as a differential diagnosis for appendicitis. We report one such case which presented with right lower abdominal quadrant pain and was diagnosed as acute appendicitis but had torsion of an appendix epiploica of the proximal ascending colon on surgery.
