    Summary

    Endometriosis can cause intestinal occlusion, a surgical emergency. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is crucial to differentiate it from colon cancer and avoid unnecessary surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Endometriosis is a condition where uterine tissue grows outside the uterus.
    • Intestinal endometriosis can lead to severe complications like bowel obstruction.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of intestinal occlusion caused by endometriosis are presented as surgical emergencies.
    • Literature review on endometriosis incidence, occlusive mechanisms, and pathology is included.

    Findings:

    • Preoperative diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis is challenging.
    • Differential diagnosis from colon carcinoma is particularly difficult.

    Implications:

    • Accurate preoperative diagnosis is vital to prevent unnecessary radical surgery in non-cancer patients.
