Abstract:
We present the case of a 29-year-old woman with an asymptomatic intussuscepted appendix found incidentally during surgical evaluation for a pelvic mass in a patient with endometriosis. This case represents the rare nature of this presentation and the need to fully evaluate the gastrointestinal tract in patients with endometriosis.
