Material and Method: Clinical case, history and images obtained from the clinical file and intraoperative records with the consent of the patient. Results: A 35-year-old woman with abdominal pain. Colonoscopy study showing a 15 x 8 mm lesion in the appendicular ostium intussuscepted to the cecal lumen, and a com-puterized tomography (CT) enteroclysis confirming AI. A laparoscopic ileocecal resection is performed, demonstrating invagination of the appendix secondary to an endometrioma focus. Discussion: AI is a rare condition, with an incidence close to 0.01% in the general population. Benign pathologies are the main cause (77%), endometriosis being the most frequent cause. Conclusion: AI due to endometriosis is anecdotal, with unspecific symptoms. The available studies can adequately guide the presence of AI, however, on some occasions it can be confused with neoplastic pathologies, where surgery is important to elucidate the etiology.enappendiceal surgeryappendicular invagi-nationendometriosisendometriomaintussusceptionArtículoAttribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0)10.35687/s2452-454920220041535
