Given the non-specific nature of the clinical symptoms, the diagnosis of this pathology was initially disconcerting. We report the case of a young patient, presenting chronic abdominal pain.Even though she didseveral medical consultations, the diagnosis was not possible given the non-specific character of the symptomatology. Our patient was admitted to our department for an acute small bowel obstruction.The abdominal CT scan was in favor of an ileo-caecalthickening. An ileo-caecal resection was performed by laparoscopy, thus solving the problem of surgical emergency andachieving complete excision of a double tumor of the terminal ileum and the caecum. The endometriotic nature was revealed by the anatomopathologicalanalysis of the surgical specimen.\nFiles\n12.pdf\nFiles\n(325.7 kB)\n| Name | Size | Download all |\n|---|---|---|\n|\nmd5:ca0f18630554b05a76b578233742fb8d\n|\n325.7 kB | Preview Download |","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
