Any help would, of course, as always, be appreciated.

I checked Stedman's Concise and found appendicolith, but in Dorland's it only

lists appendicolithiasis and appendolithiasis , not the shortened " lith "

form. Go figure :/

I am drawing a blank here, he says this word that sounds like " apendolith "

twice so far in this dictation. It has to do with an appendectomy with this

particular whatever being involved somehow. Here is one of the sentences:

" CT scan performed which revealed an inflammatory mass involving the cecum

with an _____ in the center of the inflammatory mass. "

Any help would, of course, as always, be appreciated.

Could it be appendicolith?

" A calcified concretion in the appendix visible on an abdominal radiograph;

considered diagnostic of appendicitis in the acute abdomen. "

How about appendicolith? I found it in Tessier's Surgical Word Book. Hope

it helps!
