The atypical signs and symptoms, the misleading interpretation of symptoms by the patient's family, and the remarkable radiograph in the following case emphasize the difficulty in early diagnosis of pelvic appendicitis. CASE REPORT A 10-year-old boy came to the Emergency Department of Community Memorial Hospital, Toms River, New Jersey, complaining of pain in the pubic bone of four hours' duration. His mother thought he might have fallen on the cross-bar of his bike and was concerned about a possible fracture of the pelvis. The boy denied any nausea, vomiting, anorexia, or change in bowel habit and had no pain elsewhere. He had noticed no gross hematuria.

Purpose. Appendicular endometriosis mimicking appendicitis is a rare finding. Inguinal tumor in the course of appendicular endometriosis located within an inguinal hernia sac and infiltrating the periosteum of the pubic bone has not yet been described.Case Report. This paper describes a case of a rapidly enlarging, solid, unmovable, very painful upon palpation inguinal tumor, in a 36-year-old nulliparous woman. During surgery, a hard (approximately 4 cm in diameter) tumor infiltrating the periosteum of the right pubic bone and continuous with the inguinal hernia sac was dissected. The distal segment of the vermiform appendix was an element of the dissected tumor. Histological examination revealed endometriosis of the distal vermiform appendix. After 6 months of hormone treatment, she was referred for reoperation due to tumor recurrence. Once again histological examination of the resected tissue revealed endometriosis. There was no further recurrence of the disease with goserelin therapy. In addition to the case report, we present a review of the literature about endometriosis involving the vermiform appendix and the inguinal canal (Amyand’s hernia).Conclusion. This case expands the list of differential diagnoses of nodules found in the inguinal region of women.

Introduction: A rapidly progressive destructive lesion characterizes pubic osteolysis (PO) in the pubic bone due to an inadequate fracture healing response. It may be seen in pelvic insufficiency fractures (IF) secondary to radiation therapy (RT) of pelvic malignancies, occurring even in the absence of significant trauma. Such a radiological picture may distract the clinician towards a malignant etiology and may affect the management. Case Report: A 79- year- old female, known case of carcinoma of the urinary bladder, underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) (CECT) of the abdomen and pelvis as a routine follow- up and was found to have an osteolytic lesion in the right pubic bone, suggesting a malignant pathology. CT- guided biopsy did not reveal any malignant or infective etiology. The patient showed recovery with conservative management. Conclusion: Osteolytic lesions of the pubic bone can often occur following radiation for pelvic malignancies. It occurs due to impaired fracture reparative response by a bone afflicted by radiation therapy RT. It can be managed effectively with conservative analgesics, bisphosphonates, calcium, and Vitamin D supplementation. The radiographic picture can imitate malignant or infective lesions and provoke invasive testing for confirmation. The clinicians need to be conscious of this clinical entity to initiate proper treatment and avoid unnecessary investigations. Keywords: Pubic Osteolysis; Insufficiency Fracture; Radiation; Pelvis.
