Abstract
We present the case of a 56-year-old female patient who consulted for abdominal pain associated with distension, nausea, vomiting, and absence of gas elimination. Complementary laboratory and imaging studies confirmed the suspicion of intestinal occlusion. Subsequent exploratory laparoscopy confirmed the presence of a stenosing tumor close to the ileocecal valve, whose pathology proved to be gastrointestinal endometriosis. Gastrointestinal endometriosis, although rare, can produce a picture of an acute abdomen and, for its diagnosis, requires a high index of suspicion. Therapeutic management included resection of the affected segment with intestinal anastomosis.
