We describe an unusual case of a child who had ingested sand and stones and presented with signs and symptoms suggestive of appendicitis. Plain radiographs revealed calcific opacities in the right iliac fossa simulating appendicoliths. At surgery and histopathology a small sealed off perforation of the terminal ileum with hard concretions in the wall was observed.
