Özet
Cecal endometriosis is an extremely rare condition. Mechanical intestinal obstruction is a rare clinical entity, particularly due to cecal endometriosis. We discuss a case of mechanical intestinal obstruction due to cecal endometriosis. A 28-year-old woman was admitted to the general surgery department with complaints of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and obstipation for 1 week. A mass in the cecum was found, and right hemicolectomy was performed. Pathological examination revealed cecal endometriosis. Intestinal endometriosis is a diagnosis that should be considered in patients with nonspecific gastrointestinal complaints and masses causing mechanical intestinal obstruction in women of reproductive age.
