Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder that can involve the intestinal tract and may present with bleeding, bowel obstruction, and, rarely, perforation or malignant transformation. Intestinal endometriosis can mimic malignant tumors or other conditions, which may lead to unnecessary aggressive surgical resections. It continues to be a challenging diagnosis to make preoperatively. We report a case of intestinal endometriosis with endoscopic features of lymphatic dilatation-like changes, which correlated with the pathological findings, aiming to provide a reference for the endoscopic recognition of intestinal endometriosis.
