Appendicitis mass is also clinically called periappendiceal abscess. Clinically, according to the clinical process and pathological anatomical changes of acute appendicitis, appendicitis can be divided into four pathological types, including acute simple appendicitis, acute suppurative appendicitis, gangrenous and perforated appendicitis, and periappendiceal abscess. Periappendiceal abscesses are caused by acute suppurative appendicitis showing gangrene and perforation, and this process progresses slowly. The greater omentum of the human body can move to the right lower abdomen of the human body, encase the appendix and form adhesions, and form inflammatory masses or peripheral abscesses. Normally, if the patient presents with an appendicitis mass, that is, a periappendiceal abscess, aggressive anti-infective treatment is required. Surgery is usually performed after 3-6 months, and it usually recovers well.
