A lump in the abdomen has always held a fascination for the clinician. The challenge it offers in its diagnosis is not often surpassed by any other disease.

Appendicular mass is the most commonly encountered cases in this study constitutes 50% of cases. The main symptoms were pain abdomen, fever, impaired appetite and vomiting. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice in patients with right iliac fossa mass followed by CT scan abdomen, Barium meal follow through and colonoscopy.
