  ABSTRACT: Perforation of a pseudo appendicular tumor of bilharzial origin (bilharzia) is a rare etiology of acute peritonitis. His diagnosis is histopathological. The existence of comorbid malaria and surgical pathology is frequent in having a positive thick drop with Schistosoma mansoni eggs in his stool. After 3 months, the patient is doing well. In conclusion, we recommend the histopathological analysis of the surgical specimen after appendectomy and the detection of haematozoa for malaria in any case of fever in a surgical environment.
