摘要：

Stump appendicitis is an acute in? ammation of the re-sidual appendix and one of the rare complications after appendectomy. Paying attention to the possibility of stump appendicitis in patients with right lower abdominal pain after appendectomy can prevent the delay of diag-nosis and treatment. In patients with stump appendicitis, CT scan not only assists in making an accurate preope-rative diagnosis but also excludes other etiologies. We report a 47-year old man with preoperatively diagnosed stump appendicitis by CT, who underwent an open ap-pendectomy 20 years ago.
