Endometriosis can have several different presentations, including overt ascites and peritonitis; increased awareness can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. We aim to provide a systematic review and report a case of endometriosis with this unusual clinical presentation. The PubMed/MEDLINE database was systematically reviewed until October 2016. Women with histologically-proven endometriosis presenting with clinically significant ascites and/or frozen abdomen and/or encapsulating peritonitis were included; those with potentially confounding conditions were excluded. Our search yielded 37 articles describing 42 women, all of reproductive age. Ascites was mostly hemorrhagic, recurrent and not predicted by cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels. In turn, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and infertility were not consistently reported. The treatment choices and outcomes were different across the studies, and are described in detail. Endometriosis should be a differential diagnosis of massive hemorrhagic ascites in women of reproductive age.

Laparoscopic Triple Segmental Bowel Resection for Endometriosis Revealed by Rectal Obstruction during Infertility Treatment

Intestinal endometriosis is a benign disease characterized by ectopic growth of the endometrium and causes extensive fibrosis and adhesions in response to repeated episodes of bleeding and inflammation with the menstrual cycle. We encountered a rare case of intestinal endometriosis that caused complete rectal obstruction in a 34-year-old woman undergoing infertility treatment. Colonoscopy showed rectal stenosis and obstruction but no evidence of a tumor. Bowel obstruction due to endometriosis was diagnosed based on the history and imaging findings. Transanal decompression was performed. Subsequent laparoscopic surgery revealed severe inflammation around both ovaries and a tumor-like rectal stenosis. Similar findings were obtained in the transverse colon and terminal ileum. We performed laparoscopic low anterior resection, partial transverse colon resection, ileocecal resection, bilateral cystectomy, and left salpingectomy. Infertility treatment was restarted and resulted in a successful term pregnancy. The patient remains well. Laparoscopic surgery, which has the advantage of being minimally invasive, allows for early postoperative recovery and discharge in patients with endometriosis; furthermore, the uterus and adnexa can be preserved due to the magnifying effect of the laparoscope. In this case, it was possible to resume infertility treatment. Intestinal endometriosis is a rare cause of bowel obstruction, but should be kept in mind if intestinal obstruction occurs during infertility treatment. Laparoscopic surgery may be useful for multiple endometriotic lesions and serve as a bridge to infertility treatment.

Endometriosis associated with ascites is a rare form of endometriosis. We identified only 81 publications describing women with this pathology. The purpose of this review was to search the existing literature and to understand the clinical presentations and possible treatment options. A 28-year-old patient was admitted due to a fever of unknown origin and lower abdominal pain. Her CT scan was normal with some non-specific lymph-node enlargement up to 1.6 cm and the presence of ascites. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a large amount of hemorrhagic ascites. The entire peritoneal surface was covered with milliary nodules. The pathology report revealed peritoneal stromal endometriosis. Endometriosis is an important differential diagnosis in women with ascites and treatment of this form of endometriosis is a real dilemma.
