Defined criteria were used to select small samples of visually normal study peritoneum for serial section light microscopy in 45 patients with biopsy-proven endometriosis and 10 patients without endometriosis. A glandular element compatible with possible endometriosis was found in only 1 patient. Visually normal peritoneum does not harbor a high prevalence of invisible microscopic endometriosis.
