- Acute appendicitis is often easy to diagnose, but chronic appendicitis is rare and can complicate diagnosis due to its unusual symptoms.
- A case study showed a 30-year-old male with nine months of chronic abdominal pain who had appendectomy, and chronic appendicitis was confirmed through histopathology.
