Abstract
We present the case of a 29-year-old woman with an asymptomatic intussuscep
ted appendix found incidentally during surgical evaluation for a pelvic mas
s in a patient with endometriosis. This case represents the rare nature of
this presentation and the need to fully evaluate the gastrointestinal tract
in patients with endometriosis.
