Delays in diagnoses can cause significant morbidity to patients. We describe the case of a 45-year-old female with a 2-year history of recurrent small bowel obstructions (SBOs) without a history of abdominal surgery. She underwent multiple computed tomography scans, and a magnetic resonance enterography, which queried possible terminal ileitis secondary to Crohn\u2019s fibro-stenosing disease or a Meckel\u2019s diverticulum. Colonoscopy up to TI was normal. Elective laparoscopy showed a cicatrizing small bowel mass in her distal ileum ~15\u00a0cm from the TI, which was resected. There were no other findings. Histopathological testing revealed endometriosis. At 2-month post-resection, she remains symptom-free and was referred to gynaecology. Endometriosis causing bowel obstruction should be considered early in female patients, especially those with virgin abdomens. Timely elective laparoscopy is a safe and effective way of diagnosing and treating small bowel obstruction, avoiding an emergency procedure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjad392","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,5]],"date-time":"2023-07-05T03:10:20Z","timestamp":1688526620000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Endometrioma causing recurrent small bowel obstruction in a virgin abdomen\u2014a case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2023","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9172-1000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tricia","family":"Chiu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Wagga Wagga Base Hospital , Docker St Wagga Wagga, NSW 2650, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nithya","family":"Niranjan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Wagga Wagga Base Hospital , Docker St Wagga Wagga, NSW 2650, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kate","family":"FitzGerald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Wagga Wagga Base Hospital , Docker St Wagga Wagga, NSW 2650, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023072707351569600_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"440","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jogc.2020.12.008","article-title":"Association between bowel obstruction or intussusception and endometriosis","volume":"43","author":"Aldhaheri","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Obstet Gynecol Can"},{"key":"2023072707351569600_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"737","DOI":"10.1111\/aogs.14364","article-title":"Temporal and regional differences in the incidence of hospital-diagnosed endometriosis: a Danish population-based study","volume":"101","author":"Illum","year":"2022","journal-title":"Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand"},{"key":"2023072707351569600_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e7","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2022.08.023","article-title":"A fortunate twist","volume":"164","author":"Yeo","year":"2023","journal-title":"Gastroenterology"},{"key":"2023072707351569600_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.1007\/s13244-017-0591-0","article-title":"Endometriosis: clinical features, MR imaging findings and pathologic correlation","volume":"9","author":"Foti","year":"2018","journal-title":"Insights Imaging"},{"key":"2023072707351569600_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e5","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2012.08.040","article-title":"Acute bowel obstruction in a premenopausal woman","volume":"144","author":"Lanitis","year":"2013","journal-title":"Gastroenterology"},{"key":"2023072707351569600_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e131","DOI":"10.1097\/SLE.0b013e318278e87a","article-title":"Colonic obstruction as an unusual presentation of endometrioma: a case report","volume":"23","author":"Vahdat","year":"2013","journal-title":"Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech"},{"key":"2023072707351569600_ref7","article-title":"Ileo-colic endometriosis: a rare localization of a frequent disease.
