Abstract

Intestinal endometriosis is very rarely manifested by an acute bowel obstruction secondary to ileo-cecal intussusception. We report a case of a 47-year-old female patient with symptoms and signs of an acute small bowel obstruction. CT scan confirmed the intussusception. A right colectomy for suspected malignancy was performed with an ileocolic anastomosis. Histological examination revealed an endometriosis of the ileocecal junction.
