Endometriosis is a disease restricted usually to the female genital tract. Involvement of the bowel by this disease can lead to a diagnostic dilemma due to the great variation in the symptomatology. Awareness of the pathophysiology, clinical features and diagnostic modalities is of utmost importance to decide the modality of treatment. Hormonal manipulation and surgical resection are the two modalities of treatment. The choice depends upon critical analysis of clinical and radiological findings and the desire to have pregnancy in cases associated with infertility.

BackgroundEndometriosis is a benign condition affecting females of reproductive age. Although intestinal endometriosis is common it is rare for the condition to manifest as an acute bowel obstruction secondary to ileocaecal and appendicular endometriosis. This case is important to report as it highlights the diagnostic difficulty this particular condition presents to an emergency surgeon.Case presentationWe present the case of a 33 year old female of Asian origin who presented with symptoms and signs of an acute small bowel obstruction. A right hemicolectomy for suspected malignancy was performed with an ileocolic anastomosis. Histological examination demonstrated extensive endometriosis of the appendix and ileocaecal junction.ConclusionEnteric endometriosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis when assessing females of reproductive age with acute small bowel obstruction. A high index of suspicion is required to arrive at a diagnosis of this elusive condition.
