“…The submucosa is less frequently affected than the muscularis, and the mucosa is only rarely involved [9]. Roentgenographically, endometriosis involving the bowel has been described as "polypoid" or "constricting" [2]. Generally, the polypoid appearance is characterized by a broad-based deformity with intact mucosa [10,11].…”

“…Since the lesion is submucosal and intramuscular, the polypoid mass protrudes into the lumen from without and the intramural component is obvious radiographically [9]. Wietersen and Balow [2] suggest that with this radiographic appearance, particularly in the sigmoid and rectosigmoid, and in the appropriate clinical situation, endometriosis should be considered. Kinking of the bowel and luminal narrowing are often present.…”

Endometriosis of the bowel most often involves the sigmoid and rectosigmoid and appears as an intramural mass protruding into the lumen in a polypoid or constricting fashion. Occasionally there is an intraluminal mass without obvious intramural involvement. Endometriosis of bowel is rarely diagnosed at endoscopic biopsy. We present a patient with an intraluminal endometrioma with a positive endoscopic biopsy.

A 26-year-old woman with enteric endometriosis presenting with cecocolic intussusception, a cecal mass on barium enema, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage is described. Laparotomy revealed cecocolic intussusception, ileocecal endometrial implants, and cecal mucosal ulceration presumed secondary to ischemia of the intussuscepted bowel. Histopathology showed serosal and subserosal endometrial implants without mucosal invasion. A review of the literature of endometrial bowel disease is presented.
