While cholecystoduodenal and cholecystocolic fistulae are more common, a cholecystoappendiceal fistula is an extremely rare finding. We report the presentation and operative management of a 59-year-old male with cholecystoappendiceal fistula and associated abscess in the gallbladder fossa. The patient was appropriately resuscitated, the abscess drained by interventional radiology, and after a complete workup, underwent a laparoscopic appendectomy and cholecystectomy. Pathology revealed moderately differentiated appendiceal adenocarcinoma requiring a right hemicolectomy with cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). He has recovered well postoperatively with no complications. This case highlights the importance of having a very high index of suspicion for underlying malignancy when managing a fistula of any kind. To the best of our understanding, this is only the second reported case of a cholecystoappendiceal fistula.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00031348231167402","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,24]],"date-time":"2023-03-24T00:42:24Z","timestamp":1679618544000},"page":"3605-3608","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Cholecystoappendiceal Fistula From Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma Requiring a Right Hemicolectomy With Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"89","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5341-7545","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angel","family":"Do\u00f1o","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"},{"name":"Global Surgery Institute, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jennifer C.","family":"Schadt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William M.","family":"Hammond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clarisse S.","family":"Muenyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeremiah L.","family":"Deneve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan L.","family":"Altomar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9824-3494","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denis A.","family":"Foretia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"},{"name":"Global Surgery Institute, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"},{"name":"Center for Multicultural and Global Health, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00031348231167402","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rgmxen.2017.07.015"},{"key":"bibr2-00031348231167402","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bjs\/znab259.279"},{"key":"bibr3-00031348231167402","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13651820310001315"},{"key":"bibr4-00031348231167402","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.15805"}],"container-title":["The American Surgeon\u2122"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00031348231167402","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/00031348231167402","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/00031348231167402","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T12:37:25Z","timestamp":1777379845000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/00031348231167402"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]]},"references-count":4,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/00031348231167402"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/00031348231167402","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1348","1555-9823"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1348","type":"print"},{"value":"1555-9823","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]]}}}
