Mine nearly ruptured back in 2006 because I didn't have a typical presentation of symptoms. The pain was in the wrong place, it wasn't rebound pain, and I didn't have a fever. Had I waited much longer, it probably would have ruptured. I still remember the CT tech swearing in shock when she saw it on the scan.
