The authors starting from the description of a clinical case of intestinal endometriosis, who underwent emergency surgery for acute intestinal obstruction, take into consideration the incidence, the pathogenesis and the pathological characteristics of intestinal endometriosis. They attempt to define it while accepting that the indications for resection should be extremely limited from both gynecological and intestinal points view.
