“…It was reported in the literature that laparoscopic segmentary resection and anastomosis following decompression with endoscopic stenting could be performed to avoid stoma in cases presented with AMIO caused by colonic endometriosis. [11,12] In our case, colonoscopy was not performed because the patient had progressing acute abdomen findings.…”

Endometriosis is a disease seen in women at reproductive age, characterized by extrauterine localization of endometrial tissue. Colonic endometriosis rarely causes acute mechanical intestinal obstruction (AMIO). It may also be presented with pelvic pain, dyspareunia, tenesmus, painful defecation related to the menstrual cycle. In the literature, 3-37% of the gastrointestinal location was reported and AMIO was observed in 7-23% of these cases. There are only few cases of mechanical obstruction related to sigmoid endometriosis mimicking colon malignancy. In this study, we aim to report a case of a 40-year-old patient with AMIO developed secondary to colonic endometriosis in light of the literature. The patient was discharged with full surgical recovery after the Hartmann procedure was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was reached as endometriosis. At the post-operative sixth-month colostomy, closure and bilateral oophorectomy were performed with the patient's will. The patient was discharged with surgical recovery and is still being regularly followed up. Endometriosis is a gynecological disease that may occur in all organ systems even though the most common location is the overs. Gastrointestinal located endometriosis should, therefore, be kept in mind in the etiology of AMIO in women at reproductive age and the related symptoms should be questioned in differential diagnosis.

“…Endometriosis is defined by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity and uterine muscularis [ 1 ]. Endometriosis is present in 6–10 % of women of childbearing age and approximately 50 % of women will experience pelvic pain, menstrual disorders and infertility [ 2 ]. The sigmoid colon and rectum are the areas most frequently involved in women with intestinal endometriosis and the differential diagnosis of colorectal endometriosis compared to other malignant tumors of the colon and rectum is difficult due to similar colonoscopy and radiology findings [ 1 ].…”

“…1 It is seen in 6-10% of the women in reproductive age group and about 50% of the women will have pelvic pain, abnormal menstruation and infertility associated with it. 2 The most common sites where endometriosis occurs are the ovaries (60-75%), uterosacral ligaments (30-65%), cul-de-sac (20-30%), gastrointestinal tract (3-37%), ureters (1-2%), bladder (<1%) and scar tissue (<1%). Scar endometriosis is a rare entity but is becoming more frequent after cesarean section (Pfannenstiel syndrome) as demonstrated in a systematic review by Horton et al 3 Majority of the cases have been noted in and around the cesarean section (57%) or hysterectomy scars (11%).…”

Endometriosis is presence of functioning endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can sometimes occur in a previous surgical scar. Scar endometriosis is rare and difficult to diagnose. It mostly follows obstetrical and gynecological surgeries. This condition is often confused with other surgical conditions. We are reporting 5 cases of scar endometriosis following cesarean section, some of which were misdiagnosed as stitch granuloma initially. Medical treatment was not helpful. All 5 patients required wide surgical excision of the lesion. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of this condition are being discussed.

A case of endometriosis causing acute large bowel obstruction

Abstract: HighlightsEndometriosis causing acute large bowel obstruction is extremely rare.Diagnostic challenges still remain in recognising intestinal endometriosis with or without intestinal obstruction.Definitive surgical management is needed for endometriosis causing acute intestinal obstruction.
