ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis affecting only the appendix is exceedingly rare, and tuberculous involvement of the appendix in the presence of tuberculosis elsewhere in the body, e.g., the lung or the gastrointestinal tract, is not common. Tuberculosis of the appendix is not associated with any specific clinical features, and diagnosis is revealed only after histopathological examination. Recently, we clinically experienced a case of tubercular appendicitis on histopathologic examination after an appendectomy for acute appendicitis. This case of tubercular appendicitis is presented with a brief review of the literature.
