ABSTRACT
We present the case of a fit and well 12-year-old boy who presented with signs and symptoms suggestive of appendicitis. On laparoscopy, he was found to have a sinister-looking right iliac fossa mass with associated mesenteric lymphadenopathy. He proceeded to have an oncological right hemicolectomy, while the subsequent histology returned an unexpected result. The aim of this report is to highlight an unusual and complex clinical presentation in a young patient presenting with right iliac fossa pain.
