The paper is a brief case report describing a patient with recurrent right lower abdominal pain who was admitted with a presumptive diagnosis of appendicitis. The patient underwent laparoscopic appendicectomy, and histopathological examination of the resected appendix revealed endometriosis. As a single-patient report, it does not provide broader population-level data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically reports appendicular (appendix) endometriosis presenting like appendicitis.
