[Rectocolic endometriosis].
The authors distinguish two major varieties of rectocolonic endometriosis: the isolated benign sigmoid endometrioma which is difficult to distinguish from malignant lesions of the mucosa; the tendency to progressive stenosis is an indication for surgical excision of this lesion. Genital endometriosis which has spread to the intestinal tract. The genital and peritoneal lesions facilitate the diagnosis of the recto-sigmoid lesion. On the other hand, the intestinal involvement complicates the therapeutic. Low rectal involvement usually consists of endometriosis grafted to a perineal scar.
