Its diagnosis is still very difficult, especially when it manifests itself as an acute occlusion. We report the case of a patient admitted to the emergency room for an occlusive syndrome on a sigmoid process and who was operated on with colorectal resection and it was the anatomopathological examination that led to the diagnosis of endometriosis.
