A 4 years old male child with clinical features of appendicitis was found to have a big pelvic appendix with two big fecoliths in the lumen; the bigger one near the tip and causing a palpable mass adherent with the right superolateral wall of the urinary bladder. The incision had to be extended medially to locate the appendix and carefully separate the mass at its tip from the bladder.
