Abstract:
Intestinal endometriosis is a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. In case the rectal wall is involved the physical signs of the endometriosis may mimic rectal carcinoma. Suspicion of the correct diagnosis can be aroused by a thorough history that will uncover the periodicity of symptoms e.g. cyclic bleeding. We present two patients with rectal endometriosis externa who were eventually treated successfully by surgery. Treatment may consist of hormonal therapy, although surgery will be necessary sooner or later in the majority of patients.
