Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age. Its main feature is the presence of stroma and endometrial glands in sites other than the uterus, mainly in pelvis. Pelvic peritoneum, ovaries, uterine ligaments, bladder, intestines, andcul-de-sac are among the affected areas. Sometimes endometriosis can be found outside of the pelvis and even above abdominal cavity, like indiaphragm.Herein, we present a case of an asymptomatic diaphragmatic endometriosis that was discovered incidentally during laparoscopy of pelvic endometriosis, as well as our appropriately proposed treatment protocol.
子宫内膜异位症影响约10%的育龄女性。其主要特征是在子宫以外的部位存在间质和子宫内膜腺体,主要位于盆腔。受影响的区域包括盆腔腹膜、卵巢、子宫韧带、膀胱、肠道和直肠子宫陷凹。有时子宫内膜异位症可在盆腔外甚至腹腔上方发现,如在膈肌处。在此,我们报告一例在盆腔子宫内膜异位症腹腔镜检查时偶然发现的无症状膈肌子宫内膜异位症病例,以及我们适当提出的治疗方案。
