Abstract
Findings of mass effect with indentations and ridging of the mucosa on DCBE in a setting suspicious for large-bowel endometriosis correspond well with pathologic findings of deep infiltration of the large-bowel wall. Clinicians dealing with deep infiltrating endometriosis should be aware of these findings, which could influence their choice of surgical treatment.
