Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2017 Jun;109(6):453-454.

Abstract

Appendicular diverticulosis is a rare condition. It is important to know its insidious form of presentation for its early diagnosis and treatment, thus diminishing morbimortality. In case of incidental findings, an appendicectomy will be performed to prevent complications and the development of malignancy.
