[ case of polypoid sygmoid endometriosis like to colon cancer]

ABSTRACT

Ntestinal endometriosis is a rare but clinicaly significant complication. The most commonlly involved sites are the rectosigmoid and rectovaginal septum. Although serosal involvement is not uncommon in women of child bearing age. The mucosal involvement is rare and differential diagnosis from colon cancer may be difficult due to the lack of pathogonomonic symptoms and the poor diagnostic yield of colonoscopy and colonic biopsies. We present a case of a 31-year young woman with sigmoid endometriosis is presented with rectal bleeding in which the initial diagnostic workup suggested colon cancer. Histological evidence obtained from a colonoscopy along with clinical history Led to the final diagnosis of intestinal endometriosis
