Why is it important?
It is a rare entity. It is often misdiagnosed, leading to unnecessary referrals. Gynaecologists and general surgeons need to be aware of this entity to avoid any embarrassment to the patient due to delayed diagnosis. Medical treatment was ineffective. Surgical excision of the mass was the treatment for endometriotic lesions.
Perspectives
Endometriosis is defined as the abnormal implantation of functional endometrial epithelium with stroma outside the uterine cavity. It affects women during their reproductive years, with a prevalence of 10%. Its main sites are endopelvic, mainly involving the internal genitalia (ovaries, fallopian tubes, myometrium), the utero-sacral ligaments, the broad ligament and the bladder.
