Abstract EN
Colonic endometriosis has been reported in the literature to mimic colon cancer.
Patients can present with symptoms almost identical to colon cancer.
We present an exemplary case of a woman who was found to have a mass on conventional colonoscopy.
Virtual colonoscopy was instrumental in characterizing the obstructive sigmoid mass.
A biopsy of the mass revealed sigmoid endometriosis.
