Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder that affects 6 to 10% of women in reproductive age. Endometriosis implants can be located within the gastrointestinal tract, mainly in the rectum and sigmoid colon, with appendicular involvement being rare. We present the clinical case of a patient experiencing clinical symptoms of acute appendicitis, who was incidentally diagnosed with appendicular endometriosis during laparoscopic appendectomy.

Palabras llave : appendicitis; endometriosis; laparoscopy.
