An asymptomatic 39-year-old woman was noted to have occult bleeding by faecal immunohistochemical test. Investigations showed a 3 cm×2 cm caecal lesion by colonoscopy that was consistent with abdominal CT scan findings of a 1.6 cm×1.9 cm×2.3 cm enhancing focus in the medial caecal wall. The patient underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy after diagnostic laparoscopy and intraoperative colonoscopy revealed an intussuscepted appendix. The final histopathology was an appendiceal intussusception secondary to endometriosis.
