BACKGROUND Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a clinical finding described commonly in kidney and gallbladder, but xanthogranulomatous appendicitis is rare and very few cases have been reported so far. We report a case of a 56-year-old lady who presented with acute pain in Rt lower quadrant of abdomen along with nausea. Ultrasonography was inconclusive and with clinical impression of acute appendicitis, the patient underwent appendicectomy. Histologically, a diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous appendicitis was made.

“…The process is most commonly seen in kidney and gall bladder, but is also found to affect the endometrium, pelvis, lymph nodes, skin, thyroid and bones 4 8. The literature on involvement of the gastrointestinal tract has been limited mostly to case reports and a few case series 1–5 8–10. Almost all the reported cases were diagnosed postoperatively, after the patient had undergone radical resection for infiltrative carcinoma 2 3 5 11 12…”

We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who was diagnosed to have adenocarcinoma of the caecum based on the clinical, radiological, histopathological and intraoperative findings. However, postoperative histopathology showed only features of xanthogranulomatous inflammation without any evidence of malignancy. This benign chronic inflammatory condition could present as a histological surprise. It is important for both surgeons and pathologists alike to be aware of this.

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a well-described inflammatory process, which may involve any organ but is most frequently encountered in the gall bladder and the kidney. There are rare reports of xanthogranulomatous appendicitis (XA) in the adult population, but only one brief mention of such a diagnosis in a child. In this report, we describe the case of an 11-year-old boy who presented with clinical signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis necessitating appendectomy. Upon microscopic examination, the appendix showed the typical features of XA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first well-described case XA in a noninterval appendix in a child. We also reviewed the limited medical literature on the subject.
