This case report describes a 21-year-old woman presenting with acute generalized abdominal pain, where imaging revealed appendiceal intussusception into the cecum. Diagnostic laparoscopy identified a neoplasm-like appearance of the appendix, prompting conversion to laparotomy for right hemicolectomy and lymph node dissection. The authors note that while endometriosis is a rare cause of this condition, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis alongside malignancies, especially given the patient's age and symptoms. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as a rare etiology for appendiceal intussusception, though the paper's main focus is surgical management of the gastrointestinal complication rather than endometriosis treatment.
