Endometriosis in the rectal mucosa appears as circumscribed, possibly bluish protrusions that bleed during menstruation and are macroscopically indistinguishable from carcinoma.

The paper discusses how rare endoscopic visibility of endometrial implants in the rectal mucosa can occur, typically appearing as localized protrusions that may show a bluish tint and can bleed during menstruation. It emphasizes that, based on macroscopic appearance alone, differentiating such lesions from carcinoma is almost impossible. The authors state that histologically confirmed endometriosis should be excised surgically, framing this as the definitive approach while noting the diagnostic limitation of endoscopy. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on endoscopic diagnosis and management of rectal (colonic) endometriosis.

Zusammenfassung Selten werden Versprengungen des Endometriums in die Rectumschleimhaut endoskopisch sichtbar. Es handelt sich um umschriebene Vorwölbungen, die eventuell bläulich durchschimmern und bei der Menstruation bluten können. Makroskopisch ist die Differenzierung vom Carcinom nahezu unmöglich. Die histologisch gesicherte Endometriose sollte chirurgisch excidiert werden. Similar content being viewed by others Literatur Röher, H.-D.: Diagnostik der Dickdarm-Endometriose. Dtsch. med.
