摘要：
Acute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical conditions that are diagnosed with acute abdominal pain in the emergency department. Atypical location of the appendix as in left-sided appendicitis has an increased risk of delayed diagnosis and mortality. The appendix varies in its location according to the position of the cecum. We reported a case of a 75-year-old previously healthy man with left-sided acute appendicitis (LSAA) to increase the awareness in the management of this atypical and variant condition. In addition to detail descriptions of the case report, we reviewed the current literature for LSAA provided in this article.
