AbstractTuberculosis (TB) remains as a significant global public health issue, especially in developing and underdeveloped nations. Extrapulmonary TB comprises 20% of the TB cases; of which 34.4% were in the lymphatics, 25.2% pleural, followed by 12.8% gastrointestinal and 9.4% in the central nervous system. Ileocecal involvement is the most common among gastrointestinal TB. Although it can cause secondary damage to the appendix, primary type of appendicular TB is rare and can occur with no other signs of the disease. A high index of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis and treatment of TB. Similarly, stump appendicitis (SA) is a rare and delayed complication of appendectomy. Here we report a case of primary appendicular TB in a patient presented to a multi-specialty hospital in Kerala, India, with SA.
