[Rectal endometriosis. Apropos of a clinical case].
Regarding a case of rectal endometriosis, presenting with cyclic menstrual rectal bleeding, the authors discuss the clinical and treatment aspects of such a rare pathology. History was sufficient to indicate the diagnosis which was confirmed by the histological examination of the excised rectal tract. These observations underline the diagnostic difficulty; the surgical approach is the treatment of choice when medical treatment gives no success.
