I wish to submit the enclosed manuscript "appendix mass in the very young child" for consideration of its suitability for publication in your Journal.

　　This manuscript summarizes my experience in 10-year treatment of the disease. In general, the approach towards the treatment of appendix mass has been either non-operative or operative. But we favor the former in a child presenting with an appendix mass. We feel that such a patient will respond to such management with lower morbidity.

　　If published, this approach may be discussed in your Journal. Would you kindly forward me the comments from pediatricians?

　　If it is not accepted please return it in the enclosed envelope.
