Endometrial tissue can implant to various tissues including gastrointestinal tissues and cause significant GI symptoms. Rarely, these implants cause constricting lesions that require surgical intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PRESENTATION OF CASE:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a case of a 27-year-old woman with extensive endometriosis and new onset gastrointestinal symptoms.
