Endometriosis may involve the gastrointestinal tract, but only rarely is the appendix affected. The authors report the ultrasonographic appearance of appendicular endometriosis, which was unexpectedly discovered in a 31-year-old woman. The lesion was also demonstrated by computed tomography and an upper gastrointestinal tract radiographic series after barium ingestion. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgery. The authors believe this to be the first description of the ultrasonographic appearance of appendicular endometriosis.
子宫内膜异位症可能累及胃肠道，但阑尾受累的情况极为罕见。作者报告了一例31岁女性意外发现的阑尾子宫内膜异位症的超声表现。该病变在计算机断层扫描及口服钡剂后的上消化道造影检查中也得以显示。手术确诊了该病例。作者认为这是对阑尾子宫内膜异位症超声表现的首次描述。
