A case of decidualized endometriosis of the appendix was identified during a cesarean section for HELLP syndrome at 32 weeks, with no found pathophysiological link between the two conditions.

Abstract

The rare case of a decidualized endometriosis of the appendix vermiformis is reported in a woman who developed HELLP syndrome during the 32nd week of a twin pregnancy. Cesarean section and simultaneous appendectomy were performed. An inspection of the appendix should always be carried out if an endometriosis-associated anamnesis is known. No pathophysiological correlations between the HELLP syndrome and the endometriosis of the appendix vermiformis could be found.
