Endometriosis of the appendix presenting as acute appendicitis.

J J Khoo1, M S A Ismail, C C Tiu.   

Abstract

While endometriosis is fairly common, endometriosis of the appendix is a very rare occurrence. Correct pre-operative diagnosis is uncommon and definitive diagnosis is established by histology of the appendix. We present a case of endometriosis of the appendix that manifested as acute appendicitis in a 40-year-old woman.
