The diagnosis of appendico-cutaneous fistula was made by abdominal computer tomography scan and colonoscopy.

Very few cases have been reported. We presented a successful treatment of a patient who presented with appendico-cutaneous fistula from appendiceal herniation via incisional hernia.</p>}, number={2}, journal={PSU Medical Journal}, author={Chansaenroj, Pawan and Wongtanawat, Arisara and Amornwitthawat, Kittiya and Surojnametakul, Tawiwat and Wongvisavavit, Poon}, year={2022}, month={May}, pages={51–54} }
