Two Cases of Acute Abdominal Intestinal Endometriosis

Introduction: Gastrointestinal endometriosis is an uncommon form of extragenital endometriosis. The ileum and appendix are the most affected sites following the rectosigmoid region. Case Report: Clinicopathological findings, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic outcomes of two intestinal endometriosis patients who presented with acute abdomen findings were reviewed. Conclusion: Although intestinal endometriosis is often difficult to diagnose using imaging methods, cyclic symptomatology and a history of obstetric/gynecologic surgery should alert clinicians to consider this diagnosis. Surgery seems to be the best treatment option and mainly depends on the affected site and clinical presentation. Cite this article as: Kılıç MÖ, Terzioğlu SG, Özer Türkay D, Güreşçi S, Saylam B.
