Extra-pelvic endometriosis in the thorax or umbilical hernia is rare. We report a case of thoracic endometriosis presenting with isolated chest pain and a case of endometriosis in an umbilical hernial sac mimicking incarceration. The clinical course and management of the patients and a literature review of these two unusual sites of endometriosis are discussed.
胸腔或脐疝中的盆腔外子宫内膜异位症较为罕见。我们报告一例以孤立性胸痛为表现的胸腔子宫内膜异位症病例,以及一例发生于脐疝囊内、类似嵌顿的子宫内膜异位症病例。本文讨论了这两名患者的临床病程及治疗情况,并对这两个不寻常部位的子宫内膜异位症进行了文献综述。
