Endometriosis in the rectal mucosa appears as bulging lesions that can bleed during menstruation and are macroscopically indistinguishable from carcinoma, necessitating surgical excision after histological confirmation.

The paper describes how endometrial implants in the rectal mucosa are sometimes visible endoscopically as circumscribed bulges, which may appear bluish and can bleed during menstruation. It states that macroscopically, distinguishing these lesions from carcinoma is nearly impossible, so endometriosis requires histologic confirmation. A key recommendation given is that histologically verified endometriosis should be surgically excised. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on endoscopic diagnosis and differentiation of rectal/colorectal endometriosis from cancer.

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-Endo metriose. Dtsch. med.
