This paper reports a clinical case of a patient with long-standing, deep infiltrating extragenital endometriosis involving both the small and large intestine, with development of a pathological cavity that drained to the anterior abdominal wall after multiple prior surgeries. The authors describe the treatment course in a multidisciplinary context, focusing on the management of severe complications arising from the intestinal endometriotic disease. A key limitation is that, as a single case report, it provides limited generalizability beyond the described patient’s clinical history. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it presents extragenital intestinal endometriosis complicated by a draining pathological cavity to the anterior abdominal wall.
