The authors describe the case history of an acute appendicitis of a patient suffering from increased lead resorption. The operation resulted in complete healing. They draw the attention to the possibility of an acute abdominal disease also in case of abdominal complaints of patients suffering from increased lead resorption. Careful observation of the patient in collaboration with a surgeon is necessary to avoid a dangerous diagnostic error.
