Abstract

An appendicular mass is a common surgical clinical entity, encountered in 2- 6% of patients presenting with acute appendicitis[1]. Appendicular mass is the localization of infection occurring 3 to 5 days after an attack of acute appendicitis. The mass develops when appendicitis is caused by obstruction of the lumen and there is an ensuing danger of perforation of the appendix following ischemic necrosis and gangrene of the appendicular wall . As a natural protective mechanism, the omentum and small bowel wrap up the inflamed appendix in an attempt to prevent infection from spreading by isolating the inflamed organ from rest of the abdominal cavity
