Appendiceal stump abscess ten years after appendectomy

C R Harris. Am J Emerg Med. 1989 Jul.

A case of an appendiceal stump abscess occurring 10 years after appendectomy is presented. Although appendiceal stump abscess rarely appears years after an appendectomy, the possibility still exists and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of right lower quadrant abdominal pain.
