BACKGROUND: Extragenital endometriosis can occur in the rectum and sigmoid causing cyclic rectal bleeding. A hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) (20 microg/24 h levonorgestrel releasing), originally developed as an easily reversible contraceptive method, is a therapeutic option for bleeding disorders.
CASE: A 34-year-old woman using depot progesterone injection (crys-talline suspension of 150 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate) for contraception was amenorrheic and asymptomatic. After switching to a levonorgestrel-releasing IUD the patient experienced irregular bleeding with concomitant dysmenorrhea and rectal bleeding. Colonoscopy revealed a sigmoid mass. Laparotomy with resection of the sigmoidal mass and ovarian cyst was performed. Histopathologic analysis confirmed the suspected diagnosis of large bowel endometriosis.
CONCLUSION: In our patient, large bowel endometriosis became symptomatic 2 years after insertion of hormonal IUD. The suppressive effect of the hormonal IUD seemed to be insufficient for the control of extragenital endometriosis.
