Diverticular disease of the appendix was first described by Kelynack in 1893. Diverticula are commonest in the descending and pelvic loops of the colon, but they not infrequently occur at other sites extending from the pharynx to the rectum. It is rare, however, to find diverticula in the vermiform appendix. Pathologists state the incidence varies from 0-2 to 2-23 per cent in postoperative and necropsy findings. Here we present one such rare case of appendicular diverticulosis with appendicitis.Downloads
