    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Gynecology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Endometriosis commonly affects the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Appendiceal endometriosis is an uncommon manifestation.
    • This condition can present with varied clinical scenarios.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of appendiceal endometriosis are presented.
    • One case mimicked acute appendicitis symptoms.
    • The second case was an incidental finding during pelvic surgery.

    Findings:

    • No definitive clinical signs diagnose appendiceal endometriosis.
    • Diagnosis is often suspected with coexisting genital endometriosis.
    • Microscopic examination confirms the diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Appendectomy is curative for symptomatic appendiceal endometriosis.
    • Awareness of this condition is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Further research may elucidate diagnostic and management strategies.
