This chapter defines intestinal endometriosis as the presence of functional or non-functional endometrial tissue within the intestinal wall, noting its frequent association with genital endometriosis. The text reviews historical case reports and radiographic features to illustrate how this condition can mimic colorectal carcinoma or cause complications such as intussusception. It serves as a reference for imaging gastrointestinal tract tumors by highlighting specific diagnostic considerations for digestive lesions caused by ectopic endometrial implants. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the presentation and diagnosis of deep infiltrating disease involving the bowel.
