    Author: Akbulut S, Dursun P, Kocbiyik A, Harman A, Sevmis S.
    Journal: Arch Gynecol Obstet; 2009 Sep; 280(3):495-7. PubMed ID: 19169700.
    Abstract:
    While endometriosis is a common disorder in women of reproductive age, appendiceal endometriosis accounts for less than 1% of all pelvic endometriotic lesions. Involvement at this site may present as acute appendicitis and be diagnosed only upon postoperative histopathologic examination. We report such an occurrence of appendiceal endometriosis in a 40-year-old woman who presented with acute perforated appendicitis.
