Abstract
sions located in the pelvis (Fig. 1). One of the lesions affected the right annexial region while the remaining lesions were located in the visceral peritoneum involving the small bowel. The largest lesion measured approximately 3 cm in diameter and involved the appendiceal region and terminal ileum, this being the transition point of the obstruction (Fig. 2). The diagnosis after CT examination was small-bowel obstruction secondary to intestinal endometriosis. Surgery confirmed the CT findings, identifying multiple endometriotic implants in the serosa of the small bowel, especially at the level of the terminal ileum (Figs. 3 and 4). A segment of terminal ileum and the appendix were resected. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen revealed endometriotic implants involving the appendix and terminal ileum.
