Endometriosis is a relatively common condition usually found in the pelvis. However, lesions do occur outside the pelvis and, more rarely, in the upper abdomen. In the case reported here, the patient presented with chronic right shoulder tip pain. The diagnosis of extrapelvic endometriosis is often not considered in such circumstances. This patient's symptoms were relieved by surgical excision of the diaphragmatic lesion.
子宫内膜异位症是一种相对常见的病症，通常发生于盆腔。然而，病灶也确实会出现在盆腔外，更罕见的是出现在上腹部。在本文报告的病例中，患者表现为慢性右肩尖疼痛。在这种情况下，通常不会考虑盆腔外子宫内膜异位症的诊断。该患者的症状通过手术切除膈肌病灶得以缓解。
