Stump appendicitis is a known post-appendectomy entity causing right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Usually, a patient with a prior history of appendectomy presents to the emergency room with right lower quadrant abdominal pain and stump appendicitis, which is visualized on computed tomography of the abdomen pelvis. We report a case of stump appendicitis diagnosed by colonoscopy and subsequently confirmed by surgery.
