It presents a higher rate of perforation, mortality, and association with appendicular neoplasms. We present a case of a 42-year-old male presented in the emergency room with clinical signs of acute appendicitis, laparoscopic appendectomy was indicated. Intraoperative findings of diverticulum of cecum appendix, laparoscopic appendectomy was accomplished. Diverticulitis of the appendix is a rare pathology.
