Endoscopic ultrasonography showed that the submucosal appendiceal lesion had clear boundaries with a section size of 14.3 × 8.9 mm, and the acoustic shadow was visible behind. b Endoscopic ultrasonography showed that the lesion originated from the third layer and mainly grew into the cavity, with low and uneven echoes and a high internal echo.

Colonoscopy revealed a submucosal lesion approximately 1.0 × 1.2 cm in size at the appendix. b The surface mucosa was dissected endoscopically. c Clip and rubber band and traction. d Incision of the submucosa and muscular layer exposed a gold-colored fecal stone in the appendix. e The oval-shaped appendiceal fecal stone. f The wound was closed with clips to reconstruct the appendiceal orifice.
