Thoracic endometriosis, a rare condition of endometrial tissue in the lungs, causes cyclical chest symptoms. Early diagnosis relies on catamenial symptoms, leading to effective hormonal or surgical treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Gynecology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Thoracic endometriosis involves endometrial tissue in the thoracic cavity, presenting with cyclical respiratory symptoms like hemoptysis.
  • This rare condition is often overlooked in differential diagnoses due to nonspecific diagnostic findings.

Observation:

  • A 27-year-old female presented with cyclical hemoptysis correlating with menstruation.
  • Initial diagnostic workup yielded inconclusive results.

Findings:

  • A presumptive diagnosis of pulmonary endometriosis was established based on characteristic catamenial symptoms.
  • Treatment with oral contraceptives resulted in complete symptom resolution.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering thoracic endometriosis in patients with cyclical respiratory symptoms.
