Microscopic endometriosis may exist beneath visually normal peritoneum, impacting patient care. This study found evidence of unrecognized subperitoneal and microscopic endometriosis, suggesting a need for further investigation.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Conflicting reports exist on endometriosis in visually normal peritoneum.
  • The significance of nonvisualized deep or microscopic endometriosis in patient management is unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the presence and incidence of microscopic endometriosis in visually normal peritoneum.
  • To determine the clinical relevance of subperitoneal and microscopic endometriosis.

Main Methods:

  • Examination of peritoneal tissue samples.
  • Histopathological analysis to identify endometrial tissue beneath the surface peritoneum.

Main Results:

  • One patient presented with a 1-mm endometriosis lesion under visually normal peritoneum.
  • Two patients showed cellular zones suggestive of endometrial stroma without epithelial components.

  • Findings support the existence of unrecognized subperitoneal and microscopic endometriosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Microscopic endometriosis can occur beneath visually normal peritoneum.
    • The findings suggest that subperitoneal and microscopic endometriosis may be more common than previously recognized.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the full implications for patient diagnosis and treatment.
