Abstract

Appendicitis and endometriosis are commonly encountered surgical problems. Endometrial involvement of the appendix is rare and very few cases have been reported in the literature. True diagnosis of appendix invagination is highly difficult due to variable symptoms. Noting the findings which are in favour of invagination in patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis is of great significance in order to be prepared for changing surgical attempts. This case describes a 34 year old female patient diagnosed with infertility who was operated on for acute appendicitis. In the pathological assessment, endometrial involvement of the appendix was seen. The classification, symptoms, radiological appearance and treatment of appendix invagination described in the literature are discussed.

Özet

Apandisit ve endometriozis sık karşılaşılan bir cerrahi sorundur. Endometriozisin appendiks tutulumu nadirdir ve bugüne kadar literatürde çok az sayıda olgu bildirilmiştir. Değişken semptomlar nedeniyle appendiks invaginasyonunun doğru tanısı son derece zordur. Akut apandisit tanısı konan hastalarda invaginasyon lehine bulguların farkına varılması degişen cerrahi girişimlere hazırlıklı olunması açısından önem kazanır. Otuz dört yaşında infertilite tanısı olan ve akut apandisit nedeni ile ameliyat edilen patolojik degerlendirmede appendikste endometriozis görülen kadın hasta olgusuyla appendiks invaginasyonunun sınıflandırması, semptomları, radyolojik görünümü ve tedavisi literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.
