    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Appendiceal intussusception is a rare condition, often presenting with non-specific symptoms.
    • Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, potentially affecting various organs.

    Observation:

    • A 32-year-old woman presented with symptoms suggestive of appendiceal intussusception.
    • Preoperative imaging, including barium enema and colonoscopy, was utilized for diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • The diagnostic procedures successfully identified appendiceal intussusception.
    • The underlying cause was found to be endometriosis involving the appendix.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering endometriosis as a potential cause of appendiceal intussusception.
    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis can guide appropriate surgical and medical management.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific mechanisms linking endometriosis to appendiceal intussusception.
