Department of Radiology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Medical College of Virginia, 401 N 12th St., Third Floor, PO Box 980615, Richmond, VA 23298-0615.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our pictorial essay is to highlight the helical CT features of uncommon mimics of appendicitis and to provide clues to differentiate them from appendicitis.

CONCLUSION. Uncommon mimics of appendicitis create a diagnostic challenge in patients with right lower quadrant pain. Recognition of the helical CT features of uncommon mimics of appendicitis is important in clinical management and avoiding unnecessary laparotomy.
