Attachment of vermiform appendix to the right lobe of liver through a fibrous band - a rare observation.

Vermiform appendix is a highly variable organ, which is an enigma to the surgeon in terms of its position, size and symptoms. Attachment of its tip to the surrounding organs is relatively rare. Here we present a rare variation of vermiform appendix. The appendix was 12cm long and was in retrocecal and retrocolic position. Its tip was attached to the right lobe of the liver through a fibrous band which was 2cm long. This variation might pose difficulties in appendicular resection, renal and hepatic surgeries.
