Endometriosis is a disease that can affect various organs, has an unclear symptomatology, and in extreme cases, can result in intestinal obstruction. This particular case illustrates the synchronous localization of endometriosis, both genital and intestinal, resulting in ileo-colic and colonic intussusception. The relative diagnostic and therapeutic approach for such a rare occurrence is discussed.

Background: Intussusception of the appendiceal endometriosis is rare. Although approximately 200 cases of appendiceal intussusception have been reported in the literature, very few have ever been diagnosed preoperatively. Here, we report the case of intussusception of the appendiceal endometriosis with laparoscopic ileocecal resection.

Article Synopsis
- Intestinal endometriosis is a rare but significant cause of intestinal obstruction, and this case report emphasizes the challenges in diagnosis and management associated with the condition.
- A 50-year-old woman experiencing severe abdominal pain and symptoms of blockage underwent diagnostic imaging, which revealed small bowel dilation and an ileal volvulus, ultimately leading to surgical intervention.
- Post-surgery, the patient's recovery was gradual, with a later successful reversal of an ileostomy, highlighting the need for awareness of intestinal endometriosis in women with gastrointestinal symptoms and the importance of prompt surgical management.

Objectives: This study aims to ascertain the prevalence of appendiceal endometriosis (AppE) in patients diagnosed with diaphragmatic endometriosis (DiaE), compare it with the prevalence in patients without DiaE, and delineate the anatomical distribution of endometriotic lesions within these cohorts.
Study Design: Comparison of the characteristics of patients with AppE and DiaE with the characteristics of patients with abdominal endometriosis without diaphragmatic involvement, in a prospective cohort study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center; endometriosis center.

Endometriosis, characterized by the ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, typically involves pelvic structures but infrequently extends to extrapelvic sites such as the gastrointestinal tract. In this report, we present a case of a 44-year-old woman with diffuse abdominal discomfort and constipation. Computed tomography imaging revealed a mass in the cecum, leading to diagnostic colonoscopy and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging.
