This case report details a 39-year-old woman with a history of endometriosis who presented with severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea, leading to a diagnosis of intestinal perforation caused by endometriosis. The patient underwent emergency surgery to resect the perforated bowel and an adjacent mass. Pathology confirmed the presence of endometrial tissue within the intestinal wall. This case underscores the importance of considering endometriosis in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain, particularly in women with a history of the disease. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for managing this potentially life-threatening complication.

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a rare but potentially serious gastrointestinal condition with diverse clinical presentations. Pneumatosis intestinalis is identified by the presence of gas in the extraluminal intestinal wall and is further subclassified into benign pneumatosis intestinalis (BPI) and life-threatening pneumatosis intestinalis (LTPI). Prompt and accurate diagnosis, often aided by imaging studies, is crucial to guide appropriate management.

Based on history and symptom review, initially, a working diagnosis of a case of the ruptured haemorrhagic cyst was given, while the ultrasonography findings of the abdomen and pelvis, also, pointed towards a similar diagnosis.
