Abstract
Endometriosis is a condition that primarily affects women of reproductive age since the intestinal tract is the most commonly affected extra-genital site. Its clinical presentation varies, but since it rarely presents together with intestinal obstruction, it is diffi cult to differentiate from malignancy prior to surgery. Colorectal compromi- ses can mimic or coexist with different chronic gastrointestinal diseases thus hindering diagnosis. We report the case of a 48 -year-old patient with box intestinal obstruction secondary to endometriosis in the sigmoid colon. In addition, we present a literature review of intestinal endometriosis with emphasis on differential diagnosis and the involvement of bacterial infections in the etiology and reactivation of endometriosis.
