Thrichobezoars usually consist of human hair and are known to cause obstruction and even perforation of gastrointestinal organs. There have been approximately seven reported cases of acute appendicitis with association trichobezoars found at the time of appendicectomy. We report a unique case of acute appendicitis with an associated trichobezoar of feline hair. A 15-year-old male presented with a 24-hour history of abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan demonstrated features of appendicitis with several hyperdensities within the base of the appendix. At the time of appendicectomy, the appendix was found to be perforated at the base. Faecoliths were identified containing numerous short, light-coloured hairs. Following the procedure, the family confirmed that they have a pet cat with short, light-coloured hair. The patient had an uneventful recovery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjac133","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,15]],"date-time":"2022-03-15T12:16:56Z","timestamp":1647346616000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Acute appendicitis with associated trichobezoar of feline hair"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Mark","family":"Redden","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery, Redcliffe Hospital, Redcliffe, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marjan","family":"Ghadiri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Surgery, Redcliffe Hospital, Redcliffe, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"473","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0032-1313345","article-title":"Piloluminal appendicitis","volume":"22","author":"Jesudoss","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref2","article-title":"An unusual for of a trichobezoar causing a peculiar case of appendicitis: a case of Rapunzel syndrome","volume":"12","author":"Michael","year":"2020","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1681","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1984.03350130013008","article-title":"Acute appendicitis associated with a trichobezoar","volume":"252","author":"Kochar","year":"1984","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"117","DOI":"10.1136\/jramc-129-02-14","article-title":"Trichobezoar \u2013 an unusual cause of acute appendicitis","volume":"129","author":"Attard","year":"1983","journal-title":"J R Army Med Corps"},{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1260","DOI":"10.1007\/s12098-014-1399-2","article-title":"\u2018Isolated Rapunzel tail\u2019 presenting as acute appendicitis","volume":"81","author":"Kumar","year":"2014","journal-title":"Indian J Pediatr"},{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"278","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-7753.111203","article-title":"Rapunzel syndrome causing appendicitis in an 8-year-old girl","volume":"4","author":"Dogra","year":"2012","journal-title":"Int J Trichology"},{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1390","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(83)92178-5","article-title":"Gangrenous appendicitis associated with an appendiceal trichobezoar","volume":"1","author":"Smith","year":"1983","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"46","DOI":"10.1016\/S1092-9134(00)90011-X","article-title":"Pathology of acute appendicitis","volume":"4","author":"Carr","year":"2000","journal-title":"Ann Diagn Pathol"},{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"157","DOI":"10.1159\/000102098","article-title":"Rapunzel syndrome reviewed and redefined","volume":"24","author":"Naik","year":"2007","journal-title":"Diag Surg"},{"key":"2022032915012942600_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"703","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3468(96)90679-X","article-title":"\u2018Pilonidal appendicitis\u2019 or \u2018the hair of the dog\u2019: an unusual cause of foreign body perforation of the appendix","volume":"31","author":"Miller","year":"1996","journal-title":"Journal of Paediatric Surgery"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2022\/3\/rjac133\/43114188\/rjac133.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2022\/3\/rjac133\/43114188\/rjac133.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]],"date-time":"2022-03-29T16:20:13Z","timestamp":1648570813000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjac133\/6555267"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,1]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjac133","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2042-8812","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2022,3]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,1]]},"article-number":"rjac133"}}
