This cross-sectional study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional anorectal ultrasound in correlating imaging findings with histopathological results for deep infiltrating endometriosis involving the intestine. The research included 54 patients referred to a coloproctology clinic who presented with symptoms such as dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and hematochezia, undergoing surgical excision or resection after suspicious ultrasound findings. Among the nine patients confirmed to have intestinal involvement, the ultrasound effectively identified lesion characteristics, including depth of invasion into the muscularis or submucosa, which were subsequently validated by anatomopathological analysis. The authors concluded that this imaging modality is a highly useful tool for investigating gastrointestinal endometriosis due to its efficacy in detecting lesions and confirming diagnoses through pathological correlation. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the diagnostic correlation of ultrasonographic findings with pathology in cases of deep infiltrating endometriosis affecting the colorectal region.
