Appendicolith: A stone in the appendix is caused an appendicolith and results from calcification of residue. These can sometimes block the opening of the appendix and cause appendicitis. Most commonly though these are just incidental findings and nothing to worry about if not associated with any inflammation.

Appendix stone: Stone should be watched because it can eventually lead to an appendicitis even better would be to remove the appendix since it doesnt seem to serve a purpose anyway.
