Abstract
Appendiceal diverticulosis is a rare condition that can lead to diverticulitis, which imitates the clinical findings of acute appendicitis. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult, and identification is usually made postoperatively, on the basis of the histological examination of the resected appendix. The case is reported here of a 66-year-old male, who presented with the symptoms and signs of acute appendicitis, which proved on surgery to be due to rupture of an appendiceal diverticulum, with no underlying neoplasm.
