An easy appearing appendicectomy became a hemicolectomy. A fit young 30 M with presentation like appendicitis. On palpation at surgery, the appendix was found to be densely adherent with a high-lying caecum which also had a palpable mass in it, and the right colon was quite considerably shortened. A few small lymph nodes were also palpable in the mesentery. All this was excised and an ileocolic anastomosis made. Path report later was non-specific inflammation.
