This item is a letter discussing a reported case in which endometriosis of the rectosigmoid colon presented in a way that mimicked a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. It describes the clinical and diagnostic context that led to the initial concern for GIST and how the rectosigmoid endometriosis diagnosis related to that appearance. The main limitation is that, as a letter/case report format, it provides narrative case-level information rather than systematic evidence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically rectosigmoid colon endometriosis mimicking gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
