Methodology : This study was a prospective study of 100 patients including all the age groups presenting with the

clinical diagnosis of Right iliac fossa lesions and referred for either USG or CT scan . USG was performed using real

time Toshiba Nemio XG machine and CT scan was performed using Siemens Somatom sensation 64 slice multi detector CT machine .

Results: It was found that incidence of acute appendicitis is most common. CT scan is a useful test to diagnose acute appendicitis in patients

with acute right lower quadrant pain .

Its sensitivity and speci􀃶cty are better than USG. Second most common among right iliac fossa lesions is ileo-caecal tuberculosis. Other RIF

lesions include appendicular lump, carcinoma caecum, mesenteric adenitis, enterocolitis and lymphoma with their speci􀃶c USG and CT

􀃶ndings.

Conclusion : Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice in patients presenting with right iliac fossa pain and right iliac fossa lesion

,however CT gives better characterization of the disease.
