This case report describes a 45-year-old woman presenting with chest pain and lower abdominal discomfort who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy for suspected acute appendicitis. Histopathological examination revealed endometriotic foci containing endometrial glands and stroma within the hypertrophic muscular layer of the proximal appendix, which caused obstruction leading to a secondary mucocele in the distal segment. The authors note that appendiceal endometriosis is a rare condition affecting less than 2.8% of women with endometriosis and often mimics acute appendicitis clinically. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, it documents a rare presentation of endometriosis involving the appendix resulting in a secondary mucocele.
