Summary:

Description	Radiopaedia case ID: 58007 Image ID: 35512361 Plane projection: Axial Study description: Annotated images Study findings: On the annotated coronal image, one can clearly see the appendix (blue) arising from the base of the cecum (green), with the rounded lesion (red) representing the suspected tumor. The retroperitoneal abscess is highlighted in yellow. On the annotated axial images, one can also appreciate the zone of ulceration (purple) in the suspected appendiceal tip tumor (red) communicating with the retroperitoneal abscess (yellow). Modality: Annotated image System: Gastrointestinal Findings: Retroperitoneal abscess seen to arise from the tip of the appendix. This was initially read as complicated appendicitis. However, notice how there is an expansive tissue-density rounded lesion in the appendiceal tip. This should raise suspicion of an underlying tumor. Also, note how little fat stranding there is surrounding the tip of the appendix. This is also quite unusual if considering typical acute appendicitis.
