Abstract
Abstract Background: Female patients during reproductive age had a high rate of gynecological conditions, such as ovarian cysts, ovarian torsion, uterine fibroids, or endometriosis, that occur and misdiagnosed with acute or chronic appendicitis; these disorders can be without identifiable pathologies and discovered accidentally during appendectomy. Objectives: The aim of this article is to study the most common gynecological conditions that are accidentally encountered in female patients presented with acute appendicitis. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 97 female patients who were admitted to the hospital for open and laparoscopic appendectomy during the period of January–April 2021. Results: The study included 97 patients, 71 (73%) were of the age group 20–49 years, 35 of them had incidental gynecological findings, and the rest 62 were having true acute appendicitis, ovarian cyst, and ectopic pregnancy which were the most common findings (16, 5) cases, respectively. Conclusion: Surgical gynecological conditions in female patients with appendectomy are commonly encountered, and the most common diagnoses were ovarian cysts.
