Abstract
Endometriosis is a common gynecologic condition in which the small intestine is often involved. Anatomic involvement of the appendix and ileum can be catastrophic, leading, respectively, to intussusception and obstruction with potential perforation. We present a case of subclinical ileal endometriosis and recommend careful examination of the ileocecal region during laparotomy when endometriosis is present. Operative treatment is discussed.
