Abstract Duplicity of the appendices is very rare. A 32‐year‐old man presented with type B2 duplicity of the appendix and acute appendicitis. An appendectomy was done for both. Intraoperative incidental finding is the only chance to avoid missing appendix duplicity and appendicectomy should be done for both.
