A clear definition of the phenomenon of appendicular infiltrate is still lacking in the literature. The author believes that only such a form of appendicitis should be referred to as appendicular infiltrate when the vermiform process is surrounded by extensive and dense formation which completely restricts the zone and prevents spread of infection into the free abdominal cavity.
