Résumé
Appendiceal schistosomiasis is a rare disease of only histopathological diagnosis. Appendectomy should be followed by treatment with praziquantel to avoid complications. We report two cases of appendiceal schistosomiasis and discuss the role of this infection of this infection in the pathogenesis of appendicitis. Finally, we recommend a routine pathological examination of all appendicectomy specimen in endemic areas for better care for patients.
