Abstract
Endometriosis is a relatively common disorder affecting about 15% females in the reproductive age group. It is a wellknown cause of infertility but endometriosis presenting as appendicitis is rare. We present a case of a 29 years old nulliparous lady in whom appendectomy was done for appendicitis and histopathological examination of the retrieved specimen revealed endometriosis.
