Abstract

Intussusception of the appendix, though uncommon, is usually diagnosed during surgery. Endometriosis in an intussuscepted appendix is rarely described. A case of appendiceal intussusception of a rare morphologic type associated with endometriosis is presented, and the literature is briefly reviewed. Etiology, classification, and diagnosis are discussed.
