title: Some Stones Are Precious-Extraluminal Appendicoliths.
abstract: Appendicoliths are commonly implicated in the etiopathogenesis of acute appendicitis. Extraluminal appendicoliths are not uncommon and are frequently encountered with ruptured appendicitis. The present image scenario focuses on the importance of identifying and subsequently retrieval of these extraluminal appendicoliths to prevent long-term complications, including intra-abdominal abscess.
