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.

This review provides an overview of the pathology of selected benign and malignant lesions of the female peritoneum and their often-encountered differential diagnoses. It includes endometriosis and its related lesions, endosalpingiosis, pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) and related ovarian/appendiceal pathology, and malignant and benign mesothelial tumors. The current terminology associated with PMP is also discussed.

Endosalpingiosis is a rare condition characterized by the presence of benign fallopian tubal-like glandular epithelium derived from Mullerian ducts, usually affecting the serosal surfaces of the pelvis and peritoneum. It is histologically differentiated from endometriosis as endosalpingiosis lacks endometrial stroma. Endosalpingiosis tends to affect older women and has been associated with ovarian serous tumors of low malignant potential.

Background: Endosalpingiosis in the lymph nodes of the mesocolon is very rare. We reported a case with appendiceal endometriosis who had endosalpingiosis in the lymph nodes of the mesocolon that was found during laparoscopic ileocecal resection.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 44-year-old woman who had visited a physician for fever, bloody stool, and abdominal pain 1 year earlier.

Appendiceal endometriosis, endosalpingiosis, and decidual lesions have received little attention in the pathology literature, meaning their clinicopathologic features remain unclear. We identified 72 cases of appendiceal gynecologic proliferations with available slides. Clinical presentation was recorded when available, and histologic findings were correlated with clinical data.
