This paper describes the clinical course of endometriosis affecting the sigmoid/rectosigmoid region and includes a review of the existing literature on this presentation. It presents a case focusing on radiographic (roentgenographic) features and emphasizes the need to differentiate endometriosis from carcinoma. The authors’ major limitation is that the evidence is based on a single illustrative case plus a literature review rather than systematic new data. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis of the rectosigmoid/sigmoid colon.
