This case report describes gastric endometriosis in a 40-year-old Mongolian woman with epigastric and right upper quadrant pain, slow digestion, early satiety, and intermittent diarrhea, initially diagnosed as gastroptosis in 2014. Her symptoms worsened by December 2016, including episodes where dry food became stuck in her throat. The patient was successfully treated with surgical resection and had no evidence of recurrence, though the authors note that prolonged observation is necessary. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically gastric (extraperitoneal) endometriosis presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms.

Abstract

Objectives: First reported in 1950, endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the endometrial cavity. Methods: A forty year old Mongolian woman had symptoms of epigastric and right upper quadrant pain, slow digestion, early satiety, and occasional diarrhea when diagnosed with gastroptosis in 2014. In December 2016, her symptoms became more severe and, at times, dry food would become stuck in her throat. Results: The patient was successfully treated by surgery and has not shown evidence of recurrence, although prolonged observation is necessary. Conclusion: The treatment of choice for extrapelvic endometriosis is surgical resection.
