A calcified lesion is seen within a mass like appearance in the pelvis likely anappendicolith. An associated air/fluid level can be depicted.
After post contrast series it shows multilocuatedmultiloculated and marginated enhancement in the right iliac fossa and in the suprapubic regions. Following administration of transrectal contrast in delayed phase, the adjacent large bowel loops can be assessed.
