Abstract

Acute appendicitis is the most common appendiceal disease leading to the surgical excision of the organ. We report four cases of fibrous obliteration of appendix / appendiceal neuroma presented as acute appendicitis on ultrasonography (USG). Due to similar clinical symptoms and USG findings, fibrous obliteration of the appendix can easily be mistaken as acute appendicitis.
