“…Although the rectovaginal septum is A the most common site of origin of extragonadal tumors arising in endometriosis, a multitude of other locations have been reported [1,2]. The liver and the hepatic surface are extremely rare locations for endometriosis [3], prompting isolated case reports of endometriomas [4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…Their locations mimic the most frequent endometriotic sites, namely, the rectovaginal septum, and other locations such as the large bowel, bladder, vagina, fallopian tube, omentum, and pleura [1,2]. The liver [3][4][5], or the hepatic surface are extremely rare locations, prompting isolated case reports [6][7][8]. Although rare, the exact incidence of malignant transformation of endometriosis is unknown [2].…”

A 32-year-old woman presented with acute right upper quadrant pain. A computerized tomogram disclosed a 15.5 cm multicystic mass in the subhepatic space adherent to the liver. A hepatic hydatid cyst and metastasis from an ovarian carcinoma were considered as possible diagnoses. Surgical removal led to a diagnosis of an endometrioid cystadenofibroma in conjunction with endometriosis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an endometrioid cystadenofibroma arising in juxtahepatic endometriosis. Int J Surg Pathol 6(2):109-1 12, 1998

“…5,6 A similar type of clinical situation connecting epigastric pain and endometriosis has already been described in the literature, but in none of those cases was there any characteristic cyclicity relating to the menstrual phase. [7][8][9] In the present case, the patient probably had repeated subocclusive episodes during her menstrual period, which led to the epigastric pain that she reported as her principal clinical complaint.…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is a common affliction that may affect the intestinal tract. The objective of this case report was to describe an unusual clinical presentation of this form of the disease. CASE REPORT: The patient was a 35-year-old woman with epigastric pain that only occurred during menstruation, who had a history of bladder endometriosis. Endoscopy of the upper digestive tract showed normal results. Transvaginal ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance of the pelvis showed a lesion involving the ileocecal junction and appendix, measuring 30 x 22/x/13/mm, that was suggestive of endometriosis. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the bowel segment affected by the disease, followed by anastomosis of the ileum and ascending colon for immediate restoration of intestinal transit. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of endometriosis. CONCLUSIONS: In young women, recurrent epigastric pain should be evaluated with regard to its relationship to menstruation, particularly if there is a history of endometriosis, since this may be a clinical sign that the disease is affecting the intestinal transit.
