RESUMEN

The authors report one case of perforated appendix associated with an inflammatory ileo-coecal pseudotumour due to malacoplakia. Right hemicolectomy resulted in uneventful and complete recovery. This case, together with a survey of available published data, enables the authors to briefly review the pathological, pathogenic and therapeutic aspects of this rare, if not exceptional, localisation of malacoplakia.
