Two of the patients were male and the others were female; the mean age was 36 years (28-45 years). Perioperative inflammatory cecal mass and local abscesses were observed in one patient and drainage was performed. Only appendectomy was performed in the other three patients, and postoperative enterocutaneous fistula was observed in two of them. Intestinal resection was performed in one of the patient with fistula, and the other responded well to medical treatment.
