DescriptionVermiform process showing deformity.
From a multipara aged 50 years in whom sudden abdominal pain with vomiting occurred two days previously and from being generalized became focused in the right iliac fossa where on examination a rounded, tender tumour could be felt. Palpation per vaginam seemed to suggest an ovarian cyst with torsion of its pedicle. On coeliotomy a whitish tumour was found to be the distended vermiform process protruding into the pelvis minor. There were some adhesions between the tumour and the small intestine. The contents of the tumour were blood stained and mucinous.
