Abstract

Background: Endometriosis is a common disorder in women of reproductive age. A rare localization is the appendix, which, in most cases, is an incidental finding during appendectomies. The incidence of symptomatic appendiceal endometriosis or endometrial appendicitis might be increased in pregnancy. Moreover, endometrial appendicitis in pregnancy is more likely to present in an advanced stage, given the physiologic changes characterizing the gravid abdomen.
