A case report was presented at  “V. I. Lenin” Provincial Teaching University Hospital of a 35-year-old female patient who has been suffering from rectal and perianal pain related to defecation and physical effort since 2002 (fourteen years ago). It was accompanied by dysmenorrheal, showing an increase of the symptoms during the menstrual period. She said that there was no relief of the pain with analgesic. The physical examination showed an extra mucosa soft tumor at the right anterolateral wall of the anal canal of approximately 3 cm diameter, with few movements and slightly painful on palpation. Lab tests showed no interesting facts. Ecography and rectumsigmoidoscopy   did not show any alteration. The tumor was resected with an adequate post operatory evolution. The symptoms disappeared. The histological study showed endometrial cells in the intestinal tissue, confirming the endometriosis of the anal canal diagnosed.

Palabras clave : intestinal endometriosis; endometriosis; anal canal.
