Endosalpingiosis is occasionally incidentally found on histopathologic examination of gynecologic or gastrointestinal specimen, most commonly in the ovary, fallopian tube, omentum and uterus. Recently an association between endosalpingiosis and, ovarian and uterine cancer has been described. Here, we describe a rare case of appendiceal endosalpingiosis mimicking appendicitis. Further prospective studies are required to elucidate the clinical significance of appendiceal endosalpingiosis, the potential association with gynecologic malignancy and implications for management.
输卵管内膜异位症偶尔在妇科或胃肠道标本的组织病理学检查中被偶然发现，最常见于卵巢、输卵管、大网膜和子宫。最近，有人描述了输卵管内膜异位症与卵巢癌和子宫癌之间的关联。在此，我们描述了一例罕见的阑尾输卵管内膜异位症病例，其表现类似阑尾炎。需要进一步的前瞻性研究来阐明阑尾输卵管内膜异位症的临床意义、与妇科恶性肿瘤的潜在关联以及对治疗的影响。
