Epilopic appendagitis (EA) is an uncommon condition of abdominal pain caused by the local inflammation of the fat-filled peritoneal outpouchings due to torsion or thrombosis of its vessels leads to ischemia and gangrenous necrosis of the aappendages, as it can cause peritoneal irritation, acute ischemia, and fat necrosis.We present a case of epilopic appendagitis mimicking appendicitis of a 10 years old male, presented to the emergency department with severe right quadrant pain pointedly at the right lumbar area. Associated with constipation and nausea for once. Computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast was performed showing an ovoid fat structure with thin enhancing rim and surrounding inflammatory stranding as well as prominent lymph nodes at hepatic flexure, free fluid and no evidence of appendicitis. The patient was discharged with pain control medications.Epiploic Appendages are mobile, pedunculated peritoneal out pouches. Considering its mobility and narrow pedicle appendages are disposed to torsion leading to appendagitis causing local inflammation, peritoneal irritation, acute ischemia, and fat necrosis. The patient's main complaint would be a subacute lower abdominal pain, left-sided in 60-80% of cases.Early recognition of this condition is crucial to avoid an operation when unnecessary leading to prolonged hospital stays. The management is conservative with analgesic.
