The rectosigmoid region is the most common site for intestinal endometriosis.\nWe report a case of 33-year-old woman who presented with features of acute intestinal obstruction of 2 days duration. She has had similar symptoms in the past which were managed conservatively. She was resuscitated, initially managed conservatively, and eventually had exploratory laparotomy with finding of a rectosigmoid mass and a histological diagnosis of endometriosis.
