Abstract
Common positions of the appendix are retrocaecal, pelvis, subcaecal, pre- and post-ileal, and paracaecal. Rare positions of the appendix may pose diagnostic dilemma and surgical difficulties. We report a case of retro-mesocolic position of appendix with appendicitis which posed diagnostic dilemma and required ascending colon and hepatic flexure mobilisation for laparoscopic appendectomy. To our best knowledge, we are the first to report this position.
