[Appendicular invagination].
Two cases of intussusception of the appendix are reported. The first case stands out for its rarity, corresponding exclusively to intussusception of appendicular mucosa. The second case was due to cystoadenoma of the appendix. Both cases were treated by right hemicolectomy due to the difficulty of diagnosing the condition.
