Right Iliac Fossa Mass- Evaluation and Management

Abstract

BACKGROUND Mass in the Right Iliac Fossa (RIF) has since long exercised the minds of many surgeons. The various pathologies, multiple and varied modes of presentation of each disease entity, the difficulties encountered in investigative modality, diagnosis and treatment, make masses presenting in RIF a difficult entity to treat even at tertiary care centres. Aim: The study was undertaken to assess the pattern of presentation of mass in RIF and to identify factors which will help in diagnosis and better management.
