Abstract: Recurrent appendicitis is a rare event after appendectomies, but can be occurred when there is incomplete appendectomy.   In this report a 14 y/o male patient is presented with abdominal abscess and cecal mass seven and nine months after appendectomy.   Review of literature showed that this uncommon clinical situation may be found after laparoscopic appendectomy, but it is very rare after open appendectomy. Awareness of the existing condition helps to make early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
