Report of a case\nAuthors\nAbstract Text A 39-year-old woman who is studied for intermittent diarrhea since discontinuation of contraceptives. In the study, colonoscopy is performed, at the level of the sigma, a protruding lesion with intensely edematous and reddened mucosa is observed, although the pattern with light filters is apparently normal, which conditions an invagination and a relative stenosis of the lumen. Biopsies are taken, compatible with intestinal endometriosis. Intestinal endometriosis is an infrequent entity with a prevalence of 3-37% with a very variable clinical presentation. The most common finding in colonoscopy is the eccentric thickening of the mucosa, and nodular mucosa with a polypoid appearance can also be found. For the definitive diagnosis, anatomopathological study will be important, so it is important to take biopsies of the lesion.
