Abstract:
A 5-year-old girl presented with a right iliac fossa mass. Radiological investigations suggested the diagnosis of calcified mass. During laparotomy a large fecolith was found trapped below an incomplete septum in the cecum. The pathogenesis of enteroliths and the embryology of this unusual bowel anomaly are discussed.
