I am a Doctor. But this is only an answer to a question you asked in an open forum. So this answer does not inform you take my advice from this answer on any health related matter involving you or people you know. You should consult a doctor in person on all your (or people you know) health related problems.

Answer to your question is;

1) Appendix with its mesentery.

3) Caecum in part.
4) Terminal ileum.
5) Sometimes by sigmoid colon.

1) Colicky pain starting from umbilical region, later shifted to right lower abdomen.
2) after 2/3 days a lump in right lower abdomen.
3) vomiting.

Please note: I have no medical background, and all information presented here is based solely upon the source(s) provided.

In the book Undergraduate Surgery by A.K. Nan, an appendicular lump is described in the following paragraph:

"This is nature's attempt to localise the infection (during acute appendicitis), which would otherwise lead to a spreading peritonitis (inflammation of the membrane which lines the inside of the abdomen). The structures, forming the lump, are the inflamed appendix with the adjacent caecum and colon, the greater omentum (the policeman of the abdomen, which attempts to wrap up any pathological organ to localise the pathology), and the surrounding coils of the terminal ileum. The usual fate of the lump is a gradual resolution, but it may turn into an abscess or lead to a spreading peritonitis."

Not medical advice, not an MD:

An appendicular lump forms when the appendix is not removed early enough during infection. The omentum and intestine begin to adhere to the inflamed appendix forming a palpable lump. Once a appendicular lump has manifested, operating on it is risky and will only be considered if there is pus formation, fever, and toxicity. Medical management treats the condition.
