Abstract
Appendicoliths, though typically small and asymptomatic, occasionally manifest as giant calculi exceeding 2 cm in diameter and can precipitate acute appendicitis.1 This case report delineates the presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management of a rare 2.2 cm appendicolith-induced acute appendicitis in an adult male patient. Despite financial constraints necessitating an open appendicectomy, the procedure resulted in a successful clinical outcome without postoperative complications.
