Pregnancy-associated ectopic decidua of the appendix.
Ectopic decidual transformation is a well-documented phenomenon that occurs most often in the ovary and cervix but also presents on the serosal surfaces of abdominal or pelvic organs. Although generally asymptomatic, ectopic decidua is a rare cause of right iliac fossa pain and acute appendicitis.
