Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze our own experience of diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary endometriosis. Methods. Females with endometriosis (n = 11) has been described in the article. The patients’ age ranged from 16 to 61 year, the mean age was 37.7 ± 2.7 years. Results. Serious difficulties were encountered in all cases in differential diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. Clinical, laboratory and radiological findings were not sufficient for diagnosis. Diagnostic surgical interventions were required in all cases. Pulmonary endometriosis was diagnosed using histological and immunohistochemical examination of lung biopsy specimens. Diagnostic workup has been illustrated by two case reports of pulmonary endometriosis in patients of 52 and 19 years of age. Conclusion. The management of patients with extragenital endometriosis depends on pathological and immunohistochemical findings, location and extend of injury. Such patients should be managed together by a gynecologist and a thoracic surgeon.
