Abstract
The concept of intestinal endometriosis is based on histological confirmation of ectopic implants of glands and/or endometrial stroma. Up to 95% of intestinal endometriotic lesions are found in sigmoid colon and rectum. It is the most common extra genital disease that affects between 3% and 37% of women with endometriosis.The pathogenesis of the disease is probably multifactorial. Retrograde menstruation is the most widespread theory that explains the implants. The development of endometriosis from the metaplasia of the pluripotential coelomic epithelium may also serve as an explanation.
