a "lith" is a stone. in your case the stone is in the distal (end) of the appendix. this does not mean you will need surgery unless of course you have appendix pain (appendicitis).
what is appendicolith. i had a ct done for pain that i have in the lower right abdomen. the finding is appendicolith is present in the distal tip of the appendix. what does all of these means? . do i need surgery? .
