Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue comparable to the tissue that typically lines the interior of the uterus-the endometrium-grows outside the uterus. This case report focuses new investigations in small intestinal endometriosis. A 41-year-old woman's primary complaint when she went to the emergency room was stomach pain. The patient had been experiencing stomach pain for about two months, and it was getting worse in her right lower abdomen. Based on a physical examination, pertinent laboratory findings, and radiographic tests, the ED doctor made the clinical diagnosis of small intestinal obstruction. An abdominal X-ray and a CT scan of her abdomen and pelvis, which are the two most significant radiological tests, both showed brief segments of a thickened small intestine wall and dilated bowel loops, which were consistent with a clinical diagnosis of small bowel obstruction.
