ABSTRACT
Acute epiploic appendagitis is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain resulting from appendageal ischemia caused by torsion or thrombosis of the draining vein. It is frequently misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis or diverticulitis. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed how this rare disease is diagnosed. There was a report of a young men diagnosed with COVID-19 and epiploic appendagitis as a rare cause of abdominal pain. In addition, a 50-year-old men was diagnosed with epiploic appendagitis during the treatment of COVID-19. This paper reports the case of a 53-year-old men who presented with right lower quadrant abdominal pain after COVID-19 and was diagnosed with acute epiploic appendagitis by computed tomography image findings. The thrombotic condition of COVID-19 may contribute to acute appendagitis, but more studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis.
