Granulomatous appendicitis is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen. Its etiology can be infectious in nature, noninfectious or idiopathic. We present the case of a patient of whom we got to know about due to an urgent colonoscopy. At the cecum, the appendicular fold was thickened and the mucosa had erythema and nodularity. The diagnosis is made by pathology, as in the majority of cases in this entity. The surgical treatment is curative.
