“…The most commonly affected segment is the rectosigmoidian colon; most often lesions developed at this level will lead to the apparition of constipation, rectal bleeding or modified aspect of the stool.

Although endometriosis involves the small intestine only rarely, when present, this condition may simulate a variety of inflammatory and sometimes neoplastic conditions because of its nonspecific symptoms. We are reporting here, a case of ileal, caecal and appendiceal endometriosis which presented in the emergency as a case of an acute intestinal obstruction with a long history of symptoms which were referable to the GI tract. The patient had the diffuse involvement of a segment of the ileum with mural thickening and luminal narrowing, which led to obstruction. The literature on small bowel endometriosis has been reviewed and the clinical and pathological features have been discussed.

SummaryEndometriosis is a common condition in many women of the child-bearing age. It affects approximately 8-15% of the menstruating female population. Usually endometriosis can be found in the peritoneal cavity. Ectopic foci can be located in a number of other organs, such as the lung, gall bladder, retroperitoneal space, stomach, small and large intestine and pancreas. It is found beyond the peritoneal cavity in 0.2% of the population. Endometriotic foci in the colon have already been discussed, however, there is a rare type of this condition that imitates Crohn's disease. This paper presents a long-term disease which was diagnosed and treated as Crohn's disease. In the third year of treatment, colonic endometriosis was diagnosed correctly.
