Colonic obstruction as an unusual presentation of endometrioma: a case report.

2013 
: Endometriosis usually occurs in the pelvis but can be found nearly anywhere in the body. Bowel involvement in endometriosis is uncommon and it is estimated to be present in 3.7% to 35% of women with endometriosis. It can rarely result in intestinal obstruction. Here, we present a synchronous localization of endometriosis, ovarian and intestinal, resulting in chronic gastrointestinal symptoms and colonic obstruction in a 33-year-old woman.
