PERRONE, Gonzalo; SALVATIERRA, Martín  y  GONZALEZ, Daniel. Appendiceal endometriosis. A case report. Rev. Méd. Urug. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.1, pp.179-185.  Epub 01-Mar-2019. ISSN 0303-3295.  https://doi.org/10.29193/rmu.35.10.

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and/or stroma outside the uterine cavity. It affects women of childbearing age, and its etiology is unknown, although a genetic component is recognized. Appendiceal endometriosis is an unusual condition which presents as chronic or recurrent abdominal pain. We present the case of a patient who consulted for abdominal pain in the right iliac fossa. Exploratory laparoscopy and appendectomy were performed, the histological analysis of which reported appendiceal endometriosis.

Palabras clave : Appendiceal endometriosis; Case reports.
