This paper reports a rare surgical case of complete invagination (intussusception/inversion) of the vermiform appendix in a 45-year-old woman, attributing the underlying cause to endometriosis. The authors describe the diagnostic difficulties of identifying the condition and determining management in the absence of specific clinical and instrumental findings. As a case report, the main limitation is that it provides a single-patient observation without broader diagnostic or therapeutic evidence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it presents a rare case where endometriosis was identified as the cause of complete invagination of the vermiform appendix.
