description General surgeons are often asked to evaluate acute abdominal pain which has an expanded differential diagnosis in women of childbearing age. Acute appendicitis accounts for many surgical emergencies as a common cause of nongynecologic pelvic pain.

We report a case of concurrent acute appendicitis and ruptured ovarian endometrioma.
