Intestinal endometriosis, affecting up to 34% of women with pelvic endometriosis, can cause obstructive symptoms and rectal bleeding when it deeply invades the intestinal wall, including the mucosa.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pelvic endometriosis affects 5-10% of menstruating women.
  • Intestinal involvement occurs in 3-34% of these cases, typically limited to the serosa.

Observation:

  • A case of intestinal endometriosis with deep muscular and mucosal invasion is presented.
  • This rare presentation caused obstructive symptoms and cyclic rectal bleeding.

Findings:

  • Histological confirmation of deep intestinal wall invasion, including the mucosa, was obtained.
  • The patient experienced obstructive symptoms and rectal bleeding, an uncommon manifestation.

Implications:

  • This case highlights diagnostic challenges in intestinal endometriosis.

Related Experiment Videos

  • It underscores the need to consider deeper invasion and associated symptoms in management.
  • Further research into therapeutic strategies for extensive intestinal endometriosis is warranted.
