Abstract

Colorectal endometriosis is mostly located within rectosigmoid region. Endoscopic features mainly include protrusion or protrusion-depression lesions with erosive and nodular surface, or local stenosis. Spontaneous hemorrhage under colonoscopy yields higher positive rate for biopsy, thus increasing biopsy sample numbers may improve pathology results.
