Abstract

La endometriosis en una afección de patrón inflamatorio, con prevalencia en aumento, que puede afectar a cualquier mujer en edad fértil con un amplio abanico de presentaciones clínicas que van desde dismenorrea hasta un cuadro de obstrucción secundario a síndrome adherencial e incluso perforación intestinal. La endometriosis apendicular es una afección poco frecuente, siendo en múltiples ocasiones diagnosticada como apendicitis aguda, que se manifiesta como dolor abdominal recurrente, pudiendo ser la primera manifestación de esta enfermedad ginecológica y que debe ser tenida en cuenta a la hora de realizar el amplio diagnóstico diferencial de dolor abdominal. Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect any woman of childbearing age. The incidence of this disease is increasing. Clinical presentations vary widely, ranging from dysmenorrhea to obstructive symptoms, adhesions, and even bowel perforation. Appendiceal endometriosis is rare and is frequently diagnosed as acute appendicitis, which manifests as recurrent abdominal pain. Acute abdomen may be the first manifestation of this gynecological disorder and should be taken into account when making the broad differential diagnosis of abdominal pain.
