Core Tip The management of adult patients with inflammatory appendiceal masses is controversial. This report aims at reviewing the treatment options of these patients, with emphasis on the success rate of nonsurgical treatment, the need for drainage of abscesses, the risk of undetected serious disease, and the need for interval appendectomy to prevent recurrence. The debate arises over the importance of the complication rate of interval appendicectomy. Moreover, if appendicectomy is not performed, consideration needs to be given to what investigations should be undertaken and in which patients. It is also worth recalling that the appendix is used in reconstructive surgery.
