A case of appendiceal intussusception related to endometriosis

Abstract

A 37-year-old female with a history of endometriosis and pneumothorax related to menstruation presented with a bloody stool, and a cecal tumor was diagnosed on colonoscopy. On colonofiberoscopy and enhanced abdominal computed tomogoraphy, the tumor overhung the ascending colon. An appendiceal intussusception type V (Fink's classification) was diagnosed. A laparoscopic ileoceacal resection was performed. Endometriosis was present in the appendiceal intussusception based on postoperative pathology. In this paper, we report this case and review the relevant literature.
