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.

ENDOMETRIOSIS OF THE COLON (Report of a case) 1980 Volume 22 Issue 6 Pages 799-805 Details Abstract We experienced a case of endometriosis of the sigmoid colon. A 50 year-old female was admitted to our hospital with chief complaints of constipation and lower abdominal pain. Barium enema revealed a smooth stenosis without a niche nor filling defect in the sigmoid colon. A colonoscopic view of the identical region revealed a smooth elevated lesion covered with normal mucosa, and a narrowed lumen of the area. Partial colectomy and total extirpation of the uterus and the adnexa were performed. Histologically endometrial tissues were found in the muscular layer of the sigmoid lesion. The literatures were reviewed and clinical features, diagnosis and therapy of endometriosis of the colon were discussed. © Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society Favorites & Alerts Recently viewed articles
