Cecal Endometriosis Presenting as Hematochezia in a Postmenopausal Female

Our report highlights the diagnosis of cecal endometriosis as a unique cause of hematochezia in a postmenopausal female. Cecal endometriosis manifesting as intermittent hematochezia and abdominal pain is uncommon but requires prompt clinical diagnosis and management. We report a case of cecal endometriosis causing hematochezia and subsequent syncope, which prompted the patient’s admission to the emergency department. In our patient, a diagnosis of cecal endometriosis was made after a colonoscopy, with multiple biopsies confirming the presence of endometrial tissue embedded in the cecum. We aim to bring awareness of cecal endometriosis presenting as hematochezia in a postmenopausal woman with a history of abdominal pain. This case highlights intestinal endometriosis as a differential diagnosis to be considered in women, regardless of age, with intermittent hematochezia and abdominal pain.
