The authors present three cases report of appendicular diverticulum with associated diverticulitis, one of them asymptomatic. The clinical distinction between acute apendicitis and apendical diverticulitis is very difficult, the later usually with earlier suppuration. The are no consensus regarding preventive surgery for apendical diverticulitis. It is possible that incidence of apendicular diverticulum depends on careful anatomopathological exams.
