Appendicitis is one of the most frequent inflammations of the digestive tract and is usually treated surgically. Appendectomy is among the most common surgical procedures worldwide, in- cluding in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). However, in most cases, appendectomy specimens are not sent to pathology laboratories but are instead discarded, limiting the confirmation of histopathological causes of appendicitis. Among the rare etiolo- gies, Schistosoma mansoni is known to cause chronic appendicitis in endemic regions.
