case_images: Contrast enhanced CT showing long, inflamed, and retrocaecal appendix with a distal kink. (a) Axial image showing inflamed (enhancing) appendix (proximal part-arrow and tip-arrow head). (b) Sagittal image showing the nonenhancing mid portion of the appendicular wall with kink (arrow) and no periappendicular collection.

case_images: Findings were corroborated with Computed Tomography (CT) (Figures 1(a) and 1(b)).
case_images: Contrast enhanced CT with coronal (a) and sagittal (b) images showing ruptured (arrow) appendix at the distal body with localized periappendicular collection.

case_images: CT now revealed an inflamed appendix with its tip and body replaced with loculated fluid collection, suggestive of perforated appendicitis (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)).
case_images: (a) H & E 100x showing necrotic appendicular wall with fungal colonies. (b) H & E 400x showing fungal colonies in the appendix.

case_images: Extensive mucosal ulceration and necrosis were seen in appendicular wall with scattered small and large fungal colonies in mucosa, infiltrating the serosa and periappendicular tissue (Figures 3(a) and 3(b)).
