Abstract
La endometriosis es una patologia frecuente en ginecologia, aproximadamente 10% de las mujeres en edad fertil la padecen. El tracto gastrointestinal puede presentar focos de endometriosis, siendo la region mas frecuentemente comprometida el rectosigmoides, mientras que la afectacion apendicular es inusual, siendo aun mas rara la presentacion como apendicitis aguda. Presentamos 4 casos de endometriosis apendicular que fueron diagnosticados incidentalmente en pacientes que ingresaron por emergencia con un cuadro de apendicitis aguda.
