“…In fact, while a hemivagina is obstructed, the contralateral is patent and therefore the patients have normal menstrual bleeding. Other causes of abdominal pain must be excluded in female pediatric patients such as ovarian diseases, acute appendicitis (6), and primary dysmenorrhea acute pelvic inflammation (PID). In primary dysmenorrhea the pain is accompanied by more severe cramps and is always localized on the median line.…”

“…The typical feature of a mucocele is a well-encapsulated, round, thin-wall cystic mass filled with mildly attenuated material in the right lower abdomen, and up to 50% of the cases show mural calcification[ 8 ]. The wall thickness of the appendix is less than 6 mm with no periappendicular inflammation generally, which is helpful to distinguish mucocele from acute appendicitis[ 9 , 10 ]. Besides, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are also useful for the diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele.…”

BACKGROUND Appendiceal mucocele is a rare disease that causes obstructive dilatation of the appendix due to the intraluminal accumulation of mucin. We report a case of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment of an appendiceal mucocele. CASE SUMMARY A 47-year-old man presented with a protrusion around the orifice of the appendix discovered by colonoscopy incidentally. He was admitted to our hospital for a routine checkup without any symptoms. Abdominal computed tomography showed a cystic mass approximately 3 cm in diameter with fat stranding. The preoperative diagnosis was non-neoplastic appendiceal mucocele, and endoscopic treatment was performed. The endoscopic findings and pathological results supported our preoperative diagnosis. The endoscopic treatment of appendiceal mucocele was feasible and effective, which was confirmed by repeated endoscopy and post-operative computed tomography after 7 mo. CONCLUSION Endoscopic therapy provides a new method for the treatment of appendiceal mucocele.

“…Endometriosis represents the most common adult etiology. Clinical diagnosis is difficult, which is why in most cases appendiceal intussusception is diagnosed upon surgery 2 . Awareness of this condition is, however, crucial as endoscopic removal may result in severe iatrogenic complications, if misdiagnosed as colonic polyp.…”
