This case report describes a 39-year-old woman who underwent right hemicolectomy for a transverse colon lesion, leading to the incidental discovery of isolated endometriosis within the vermiform appendix. The patient presented without any history of pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, or prior endometriosis, making this an asymptomatic and rare clinical presentation. Although appendiceal endometriosis is uncommon, particularly in patients without other known lesions, surgical resection was performed as the definitive management strategy. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically documenting an extremely rare case of isolated endometriosis in the appendix in an asymptomatic patient.
