ABSTRACT
Intestinal endometriosis is an uncommon clinical entity that is rarely seen by general surgeons. It traditionally requires laparoscopy for diagnosis and an open laparotomy procedure for the treatment. Herein, we report a rare case of colonic endometriosis involving the ileocecal region and left adnexal region. The management was totally laparoscopic an ileocecal resection of the lesions was successfully performed. Endometriosis was not suspected preoperatively; however, it became a differential diagnosis during the operation and then confirmed by the histopathologic examination. We discuss the investigation process, surgical management, and prognosis related to ectopic endometriosis.
