Abstract
We reported a case of appendiceal intussusception related to endometriosis. Few cases have been reported in Japan,According to literature, only 10 cases of appendiceal intussusception associated with endometriosis, including our case, have been reported.A 46-year-old woman developed bloody stool. Colonoscopy showed tumor in the cecum. Ba enema and enhanced abdominal CT scan revealed appendiceal intussusception with cystic mass. Therefore, the diagnosis of appendiceal intussusception related to appendiceal mucocele, and laparoscopy-assisted ileocecal resection with lymph node dissection was performed. The postoperative pathological findings were consistent with appendiceal endometriosis. Laparoscopic procedure is very useful to the treatment of the appendiceal intussusception, in respect of the curability and invasiveness.
