Six patients with endometriosis involving the intestine are described and illustrate the variety of symptoms which may occur in this condition, many of which are frequently associated with the more common gastrointestinal illnesses. A correct preoperative diagnosis based on history, clinical examination, radiology, and endoscopy may be difficult to make, and when first discovered at laparotomy endometriosis can easily be mistaken for other inflammatory, or neoplastic processes. A histological diagnosis should always be made before definitive treatment.
本文描述了6例肠道子宫内膜异位症患者，展示了该病症可能出现的各种症状，其中许多症状常与更常见的胃肠道疾病相关。基于病史、临床检查、放射学和内窥镜检查进行准确的术前诊断可能很困难，并且当在剖腹手术中首次发现时，子宫内膜异位症很容易被误诊为其他炎症或肿瘤性病变。在进行确定性治疗之前，始终应进行组织学诊断。
