appendiculus was appendicolith

[Guest guest]

Hi,

The other day I asked about a s/l " appendiculus " and no one had a guess

for it. Turns out it was " appendicolith " , which Stedman's defines as: A

calcified concretion in the appendix visible on an abdominal radiograph;

considered diagnostic of appendicitis in the acute abdomen.

Thought some people might like to know.

is!
