This paper reports an endometrioma located in the sigmoid colon that presented clinically as an intestinal obstruction, described through diagnostic imaging and associated clinical/surgical evaluation, as reflected by its radiology-focused case-report format. The key finding is that an endometrioma involving the sigmoid colon can mimic or cause mechanical intestinal obstruction. As a brief case report with limited details available in the provided text, the main limitation is the lack of broader patient data and generalizability beyond the single presentation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — an intestinal endometrioma of the sigmoid colon presenting with intestinal obstruction.
