Appendiceal duplications can occur alone or in conjunction with cecal duplication. The persistence of the temporary embryologic second cecal appendix is hypothesized to cause appendiceal duplications. We present a case of appendiceal duplication in a 26\u2010year\u2010old Ethiopian female patient who had been experiencing abdominal pain in the right lower quadrant for 1\u2009week. She developed anorexia, a loss of appetite, and a low\u2010grade fever as a result of this. She reported direct and rebound mild discomfort in the right lower quadrant on abdominal examination. She was then operated on and she had an appendiceal duplication intraoperatively. As a result, an appendectomy was performed, and the patient was discharged with improved health. To avoid unfavorable patient outcomes and medicolegal difficulties, surgeons and surgical trainees who conduct several appendectomies throughout their training should be aware of the likelihood of appendiceal duplication.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.8279","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,30]],"date-time":"2023-11-30T22:44:41Z","timestamp":1701384281000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Appendiceal
