[Appendicular abcess presenting as an abdominal mass in early childhood. Radiological diagnosis (author's transl)].
Two boys (two years and a half old) were admitted in this hospital for an abdominal tumor. In both cases a pelvic abcess was present, secondary to a pelvic appendicitis. Symptoms have been deeply modified by previous antibiotherapy. Radiological examinations including opacification of the urinary tract by a intravenous pyelogram and opacification of the recto-sigmoid by a baryum enema allowed in both cases to localize the mass and to lead to the diagnosis with the clinical data.
