    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Extragenital endometriosis, particularly involving the sigmoid colon, presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Intestinal endometriosis can manifest as a colonic tumor or cause obstruction, necessitating surgical evaluation.

    Observation:

    • A 40-year-old female presented with symptoms suggestive of a sigmoid tumor and acute colonic obstruction.
    • Clinical and endoscopic examinations preceded surgical intervention for the presumed sigmoid tumor.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination confirmed intestinal wall endometriosis as the cause of the patient's symptoms.
    • The diagnosis of sigmoid endometriosis was established post-operatively.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This case underscores the importance of considering endometriosis in the differential diagnosis of sigmoid masses and obstructions.
    • Effective therapeutic strategies for extragenital intestinal endometriosis require accurate and timely diagnosis.
    • Difficulties in clinical diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis highlight the need for increased awareness among clinicians.
