title: [Appendicitis schistosomiasis: unusual lesion about two cases in Senegal].
abstract: Appendiceal schistosomiasis is a rare disease of only histopathological diagnosis. Appendectomy should be followed by treatment with praziquantel to avoid complications. We report two cases of appendiceal schistosomiasis while discussing the place of this infection in the pathogenesis of appendicitis. Finally we recommend a routine pathological examination of any part of appendectomy for better care for patients.
