Introduction: Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition, usually presenting with pelvic pain or infertility in women of reproductive age. Diagnosis is made on histopathology of deposits excised during laparoscopy, given diagnosis solely made by macroscopic examination can be challenging for even experienced gynaecological surgeons. Case description: A 45-year-old during laparoscopy for fibroids is found to have peritoneal deposits resembling endometriosis. Histopathology reveals multifocal metastatic grade 1 neuroendocrine tumour of the appendix. Conclusion: This incidental finding highlights the importance of thorough examination of the appendix and abdominal cavity for unexpected pathology during gynaecological laparoscopy. Incidental finding of appendiceal pathology at time of laparoscopy for endometriosis is not uncommon; however, the finding of metastatic malignancy is far rarer. While several case studies have reported severe endometriosis mimicking advanced stage cancer, this is the first documented occurrence of an advanced, metastatic tumour, mimicking endometriosis.

Abstract Background Carcinoid heart disease is a potential sequela of metastatic neuroendocrine tumour that has characteristic valve appearances. Patients can present with symptoms of carcinoid syndrome or be relatively asymptomatic until symptoms of progressive heart failure manifest. Case summary We present a case of a 54-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital for investigation of hypoxia. Transthoracic echocardiogram was suggestive of carcinoid heart disease which subsequently led to a diagnosis of metastatic neuroendocrine (carcinoid) tumour of the testicular primary. Work-up revealed a patent foramen ovale with evidence of the right to left interatrial shunt from severe tricuspid regurgitation as the cause of his hypoxia. Prior to surgical excision of the primary tumour, percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure was performed resulting in improved arterial oxygen saturation and symptomatic improvement. Discussion Carcinoid heart disease typically affects the right-sided cardiac valves and the tricuspid valve appearances were critical in leading to a diagnosis of a metastatic neuroendocrine tumour in our patient. This case demonstrates that percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure can be an effective intervention for hypoxia in those not managed surgically. A high index of suspicion should be maintained for gonadal primary carcinoid tumour when there is carcinoid heart disease in the absence of liver metastases.
