This case report describes the diagnosis of rectal endometriosis presenting as an obstructive ulcerated lesion. The authors utilized proctoscopic biopsy to confirm the presence of endometrial tissue within the rectal wall, distinguishing it from other pathologies such as malignancy or inflammatory bowel disease. The paper highlights the utility of direct visualization and histological sampling in identifying deep infiltrating endometriosis that causes mechanical obstruction. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the presentation and diagnostic approach for rectal involvement with ulceration and obstruction.
