We report the case of a patient of 40 years, in childbearing age with clinical abdominal obstruction, diagnostic laparoscopy revealed an ileal stenosing tumor, after intestinal resection their histopathological study found endometrial epithelium and stroma confirming the diagnosis of endometrial ileal endometriosis.
