Thoracic endometriosis, a rare condition causing respiratory symptoms, is often linked to pelvic endometriosis. Diagnosis is straightforward with a multidisciplinary approach, and surgical intervention combined with hormonal therapy is typically recommended.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Pulmonology
  • Thoracic Surgery

Context:

  • Endometriosis involves endometrial tissue outside the uterus.
  • Thoracic endometriosis presents as respiratory symptoms like pneumothorax, hemothorax, or hemoptysis.
  • Symptoms often recur cyclically with menstruation in women aged 30-40.

Purpose:

  • To describe the clinical presentation and management of thoracic endometriosis.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and multidisciplinary approach required.
  • To emphasize the role of surgery and hormonal therapy in treatment.

Summary:

  • Thoracic endometriosis manifests as rare respiratory conditions, most commonly catamenial pneumothorax.
  • Video-assisted thoracoscopy can reveal diaphragmatic abnormalities and endometrial implants.
