  • Title: Asymptomatic intussusception of the appendix secondary to endometriosis.
    Author: Offodile A, Hodgin JB, Arnell T.
    Journal: Am Surg; 2007 Mar; 73(3):299-301. PubMed ID: 17375794.
    Abstract:
    This is a report of a 47-year-old woman with an asymptomatic clinical presentation of appendiceal intussusception secondary to endometriosis. Initially discovered during routine colonoscopy as a submucosal mass, it was ultimately diagnosed after surgical resection by pathology findings. The theories regarding the pathogenesis of appendiceal intussusception are reviewed and discussed here.
