This letter to the editor presents a case of deep infiltrating endometriosis involving the ileum, which resulted in bowel obstruction requiring urgent management. The authors highlight that diagnosing this condition is challenging due to its uncommon nature and specific anatomical location, particularly when there is no prior gynecological history of endometriosis. They reference previous literature to contextualize their findings within the broader understanding of intestinal endometriosis complications. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on deep infiltrating lesions affecting the small intestine.

Abstract

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) of the ileum is an uncommon lesion that may be severe in its clinical presentation. Its diagnosis is challenging in the absence of a gynecological history of endometriosis and because of its anatomical location. We read the article by Sánchez, Candel, and Albarracín, and now report an additional case that was managed urgently.
