“…All women underwent surgery. Two patients (Bakri et al 1992;Decker et al 2004) were surgically managed twice: the first time, the purpose was diagnostic and was required to confirm endometriosis as the cause of the recurrent Endoscopy: distal ileum ulcer, mucosal oedema, luminal stricture.…”

Endometriosis, defined as the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, presents mainly with pelvic pain and infertility. Acute abdominal pain in non-pregnant patients with endometriosis might be minimised as a typical feature of the disease, while endometriosis is rarely considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain. Our objective was to conduct a systematic review of the current literature of cases of acute abdomen/acute abdominal pain in non-pregnant endometriotic patients. We performed a PubMed/MEDLINE search of studies published from January 1990 to December 2018, selecting English language reports and series of non-pregnant patients with acute abdomen and histological confirmation of endometriosis. The studies were revised by two independent authors. Data were abstracted and compiled for analysis. Fifty articles reporting 62 patients were identified. The complications were classified according to anatomical sites in bowel, urinary tract, and genital organs emergencies. Rarely was the first diagnostic hypothesis endometriosis, misdiagnosis was frequent. The time frame from symptoms onset to management was often long. This is the first systematic review evaluating acute abdomen/acute abdominal pain in non-pregnant endometriotic patients. These conditions are rare but possibly life-threating and require prompt diagnosis and emergent medical or surgical treatment.

“…Surprisingly, she had no reported history of endometriosis. Although rare, perforation of the bowel should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pregnant woman presenting with an acute abdomen [2,3]. The histopathologic diagnosis of endometriosis can be rendered difficult by decidualization, which is characterized by deeply infiltrating glands and polymorphic nuclei within the decidual stroma and can resemble a malignant process [4].…”
