dc.description.abstractEndometriosis is a benign chronic disease which can have different degrees of severity and can potentially affect any organ. Intestinal endometriosis occurs in 3%â€"37% of the cases, being more frequent in the rectosigmoid transition. Transmural involvement of intestinal endometriosis is extremely rare and is usually associated with recurrent abdominal pain. Due to the cyclical hormone influence, endometriosis implants may infiltrate the deeper layers of the intestinal wall and may lead to bowel obstruction or perforation. We present a case of transmural perforation of the rectum wall by an adjacent organ (left fallopian tube) that occurred insidiously in a patient with deep infiltrative endometriosis. A complete set of images is presented, regarding the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative findings.eng
