The pathological findings and clinical aspects of 22 patients with endometriosis of the vermiform appendix are presented. The cases were found among 10,000 appendices examined from 1950 to 1981. During this period of 32 years, 800 cases of pelvic endometriosis were seen. In 10 patients no other locations of pelvic endometriosis were found.
