Abstract

A case of endometriosis of the large intestine is reported in a 41 years old woman. The endometrioma involved the Bauhin-valve, the distal ileum and the right adnexa. The symptoms and signs were thought of a caecal carcinoma causing a mechanical ileus. The morphologic aspects and the management of the diagnostic and therapeutic procedure are discussed with respect to the endometriosis of the intestine.
