This article outlines the unresolved etiology of intestinal endometriosis, presenting two primary theoretical frameworks proposed by various authors. Sampson’s theory suggests that endometrial cells reflux through the uterine tubes and subsequently implant on the peritoneum or adjacent pelvic viscera. Alternatively, Ivanoff and Meyer propose a metaplasia hypothesis where peritoneal serosal cells transform into endometrial cells due to their shared embryonic origin. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the theoretical mechanisms underlying intestinal involvement.

Abstract

La etiología de la Endometriosis Intestinal está aun por aclararse per varios autores han planteado las siguientes teorías: Sampson considera que existe un reflujo de celulas endometriales a través de las trompas uterinas y que luego se implantan en el peritoneo o en las vísceras vecinales de la pelvis. Ivanoff y Meyer proponen la hipótesis de la metaplasia de las células de la serosa peritoneal en células endometriales en vista de que ambos proceden de un tejido embrionario idéntico.
