case_images: The USG confirmed the pregnancy without evident alterations related to the pregnant uterus, to the placenta, and to the fetus ( Figure 1 ).
case_images: Caecal appendix with thicker wall identified in the ultrasonography

case_images: Caecal appendix was thicker in the body portion, reaching 9.2mm of maximal transverse diameter (the normal value is considered up to 6.0mm) and segment increase of the caliber in this region, without other inflammation characteristics ( Figure 2 ).
case_images: Coronal plane magnetic resonance imaging. The arrows point to cecal appendix with thickened wall

case_images: The MRI confirmed the findings described in the USG with focal appendicular parietal thickness without inflammatory signs ( Figures 3 and 4 ).
case_images: Cecal appendix with thicker wall showed in the axial plan magnetic resonance imaging

case_images: The MRI confirmed the findings described in the USG with focal appendicular parietal thickness without inflammatory signs ( Figures 3 and 4 ).
case_images: Cecal appendix showing drop on out-of-phase sequence sign, and showing fatty component

case_images: We observed diffuse hyper signal of appendix on in-phase sequence with loss of signal on out-phase sequence ( Figure 5 ), therefore, indicating the presence of expressive amount of fat in intracellular compartment; a characteristic of lipomatosis.
