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.

Nadir Bir Kolonoskopik Bulgu: İnverte Apendiks

Öz

İnverted apendiks, kolonoskopi sırasında nadir görülen bir bulgudur. Polipektomi gibi gereksiz endoskopik girişimlerden kaçınmak için uygun tanının yapılması önemlidir. Bu nedenle apendiks orifisinde polipoid lezyonların ayırıcı tanısında başlangıçta inverted apendiks düşünülmelidir. Burada kolonoskopi sırasında inverted apendiks tanısı koyduğumuz bir vakayı sunuyoruz.
