Abstract

Inverted appendix is a rare finding during colonoscopy. Correct diagnosis of inverted appendix is important to avoid unnecessary endoscopic interventions such as polypectomy. Thus, in all polypoid lesions around appendix orifice inverted appendix should be in differential diagnosis. Here we report a rare case of inverted appendix during colonoscopy.
