Abstract
The incidence of endometriosis of the appendix is reported to be just <1% of the total endometriosis cases. Laparoscopic visualization and diagnostic yield are of profound significance to women in whom gynecologic diseases such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ruptured ovarian follicles or tubal pregnancy may be the source of pain and mimic appendicitis. Therefore, lower abdominal pain in reproductive age group female must invite the attention of the surgeon or gynecologist to entertain the possibility of endometriosis since appendiceal endometriosis, while relatively uncommon in patients with endometriosis, is rare in the general population.
