This paper reports a clinical case of sigmoid colon endometriosis in a 50-year-old woman who presented with constipation and lower abdominal pain. Using barium enema, the authors found a smooth stenosis without a niche or filling defect, and colonoscopy showed a smooth elevated lesion with intact mucosa and a narrowed lumen; partial colectomy plus total extirpation of the uterus and adnexa were performed, with histology confirming endometrial tissue in the muscular layer. The report also reviews prior literature to discuss clinical features, diagnosis, and therapy, but it is limited by its single-case design and the lack of broader comparative or mechanistic analysis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically endometriosis of the sigmoid colon.
