Endometriotic Rectosigmoid Obstruction Presenting With a Frozen Pelvis-Mimicking Carcinoma
نویسنده
چکیده
Rectosigmoid endometriosis is a relatively rare condition and may commonly mimic carcinoma. We report a case presenting with frozen pelvis that was unresectable during an emergency laparotomy. Clinically and radiologically it was suspected to be carcinoma and the patient was subjected to radioand chemotherapy. The lesion was resected during a second laparotomy and was found to be endometriotic mass. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose this condition.
