Abstract:
We present a 55-year-old woman with an intrapulmonary nodule diagnosed as pulmonary endometriosis by video-assisted thoracic surgery. Ectopic endometriosis in the parenchyma of the lung is relatively rare, especially in this case, where there was neither pelvic endometriosis nor clinical symptoms.
