This paper is a letter to the editor presenting a single adult case in which ileocecal endometriosis was identified as the cause of an infrequent ileocolic intussusception. The authors review the published case report literature and emphasize the rarity of the ileocecal location of endometriosis, framing it as an associated cause of intussusception. A key limitation is that it is based on a case presentation and literature review rather than original patient series or systematic evidence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports an adult case of ileocecal endometriosis causing ileocolic intussusception.
