This paper reports a clinical case of incomplete small bowel obstruction caused by isolated ileal endometriosis, described as a mimic of tuberculosis. The authors present the diagnostic challenge and the presentation consistent with intestinal pathology that can be mistaken for infection, while ultimately attributing the obstructive process to endometriosis. A key caveat is that, as a case report, the findings are limited to this single presentation and do not establish generalizable diagnostic criteria. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — an isolated ileal endometriosis case presenting as incomplete small bowel obstruction and resembling tuberculosis.
