This letter reports a new clinical case of ileocecal infiltrative endometriosis to highlight the potential underdiagnosis of this condition. The authors reference recent publications by Guerra et al. and Ávila et al. to contextualize their findings within existing literature on intestinal involvement by deep infiltrating disease. They propose that ileocecal endometriosis may be more frequent than currently recognized, suggesting a need for greater clinical awareness. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on gastrointestinal manifestations involving the ileocecal region.
