Report of a Case with Appendiceal Intussusception Induced by Appendiceal Endometriosis
A 45-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain and bleeding was diagnosed with appendiceal intussusception due to appendiceal endometriosis after laparoscopic surgery.

The paper reports a 45-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain and hematochezia in whom endoscopy showed an elastic-hard, submucosal-appearing 30 mm elevation at the appendiceal orifice, and contrast CT revealed an enhancing solid mass with enlarged surrounding lymph nodes, prompting suspicion of primary appendiceal cancer or a submucosal tumor. The authors performed laparoscopic ileocecal resection for both diagnosis and treatment, finding intraoperatively that the appendiceal body protruded into the cecal lumen in an intussusception-like manner with marked shortening of the appendix. Pathology demonstrated strong fibrosis with scattered endometrial tissue from the submucosa to the muscularis propria, leading to a diagnosis of complete appendiceal intussusception caused by appendiceal endometriosis, with the authors emphasizing that preoperative diagnosis is difficult because intestinal endometriosis can mimic a submucosal tumor. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically appendiceal endometriosis inducing appendiceal intussusception.
