          La Endometriosis consiste en la aparición y crecimiento de tejido endometrial fuera del útero. La causa es desconocida, También sugiere que puede ser hereditaria. Otros investigadores han señalado la participación del sistema inmunológico, y endocrino. En nuestro caso se evalúa a paciente femenina de 40 años de edad, quien acude por presentar proctalgia, estreñimiento, dolor abdominal, y pérdida de peso, niega antecedentes patológicos, embarazos y/o abortos; al examen funcional dismenorrea, ciclos menstruales regulares; examen físico sin alteraciones, abdomen sin megalias, al tacto rectal impresiona estenosis en recto bajo, por lo que se realiza estudio endoscópico inferior, y se constata estenosis en recto alto, de bordes regulares, concéntrica, de aspecto benigno, de aproximadamente 1,5 cm de diámetro. Se practica ultrasonido abdominal, pélvico, transvaginal, y tomografía de abdomen y pelvis, cuyo reporte coincide en diagnóstico de aglomeración de asas intestinales entre útero y recto, en relación a probable plastrón. En relación a la estenosis se inicia esquema de dilataciones con balón hidroneumático, no presenta mejoría, decidiéndose resolución quirúrgica. La biopsia de la pieza anatómica reporta endometriosis.

On this center´s gastroenterology appointment is studied a 40 year-old female patient, who assists for presenting proctalgia and prolonged constipation, a loss of weight is associated. Patient denies pathologic background, as well as pregnancies and/or abortions to the physical examination. Patient is on stable clinical conditions, abdomen without any masses. Stenosis on low rectum is evidenced on rectum touch, and a regular-concentric benign stenosis is confirmed, with approximately 1,5cm of diameter. A transvaginal-abdominal-pelvic ultrasound examination, as well as an axial-abdominal and pelvic tomography is realized. Afterwards, dilations`scheme with a pneumatic ball was realized, nevertheless patient did not get better, in which case a surgical resolution, which an anatomic piece reports endometriosis, was decided.

          Pathogenesis of endometriosis.

          This article reviews the pathogenesis of endometriosis, which involves retrograde dissemination of endometrium and/or development in situ by metaplasia, and there is evidence suggesting that genetic and hormonal factors may play a role. There is also substantial evidence that immunologic factors, namely peritoneal macrophages, T cells, natural killer cells, and soluble products secreted by these cells, are involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis.
