“…46 Of the patients with fistulae to the skin, 3,4,8,58-89 three of these were within Amyand (inguinal) hernias, 3,66 of which one patient also had a history of Hirschsprung's disease, 4 and another case projected from a De Gangerot (femoral) hernia. 83 The fistulae to vascular structures comprised 14 to the aorta 10,[90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102] and five to the iliac artery. [103][104][105][106][107] Appendiceal fistulae to the GI tract included 10 cases to the sigmoid colon alone, [108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117] with an additional two concurrently fistulating to the bladder.…”

Background The appendix has a unique place in surgical history. Although the first ever appendicectomy involved a fistula to the skin, fistulae involving the appendix remain uncommon and can lead to unique surgical considerations. Methods A systematic review of the literature was performed for case reports of appendiceal fistulae. We excluded cases in which the patient had a history of appendicectomy. Cases were categorized by site and aetiology, with information regarding relative frequency and demographics obtained. Results A total of 301 case reports of fistula involving the appendix were found. The most common sites of these fistulae were to the bladder (148 cases), skin (40 cases), vasculature (19 cases), umbilicus (16 cases) and to the gastrointestinal tract. The most common aetiology in sub‐analysis was appendicitis alone (150 cases), with less common causes including appendiceal adenocarcinoma (32 cases) and congenital abnormalities (18 cases). There were significantly more appendiceal fistulae in males than in females, with a ratio of 1.7:1. In patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma as a cause for fistula, there were significantly more females than males with a ratio of 2.3:1. Conclusion In conducting a systematic review of case reports of fistulae involving the appendix, we identified 301 unique case reports, with a range of different sites and aetiologies.

“…We are talking about Iliac-appendiceal fistula formation caused by neoplastic relapse at the level of the great vessels and right colon. The extreme mobility of the appendix makes it susceptible to becoming involved in any intra-abdominal pathology (4,5). Tyson et al published details of a case of iliac-appendiceal fistula in 1969 (6).…”

“…Appendiceal fistula was first described in 1846 when an appendicocutaneous fistula was discovered at autopsy . In 1957, appendiceal fistula was defined as “ the primary perforation of the appendix to an adjacent hollow viscus or to the skin .” The hypermobility of the appendix makes it susceptible to adhering to any intra‐abdominal organ . Various types of appendiceal fistulae have been reported including duodenum; jejunum; Meckel's diverticulum; ileum; cecum; ascending colon; sigmoid colon; ureter; urinary bladder; tubo‐ovarian; uterus; vagina; aorta; right iliac artery; and cutaneous (umbilicus, right inguinal hernia, right buttock, right psoas, right loin, trauma).…”
