Primary malignant epithelial tumors of the appendix are uncommon. The most common presentation of appendiceal malignancy is right lower abdominal pain suggestive of acute appendicitis. Presentation caused by loco-regional spread with involvement of neighboring organs is rare. We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with an appendiceal malignancy who presented with symptoms and signs suggestive of complicated diverticular disease with an enterovaginal fistula. From a review of the literature, this is the first report of an appendiceal malignancy presenting in this manner.
