Two cases of colorectal endometriosis mimicking stenosing colon cancer are presented in women with a history of pelvic endometriosis and menstrually associated rectal bleeding.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

We present two women of 40 and 42 years with colorectal endometriosis, both with a history of pelvic endometriosis and simultaneous episodes of rectal bleeding with menstruation. In endoscopic evaluations detected a sigmoid tumor and rectosigmoid tumor respectively, which apparently corresponds to stenosing colorectal cancer of epithelial origin.
