Intrathoracic endometriosis is classified into pleurodiaphragmatic endometriosis and bronchopulmonary endometriosis. Bronchopulmonary endometriosis is rare. Computed tomography (CT) findings of bronchopulmonary endometriosis are lung nodules, with or without cavities, or surrounding ground-glass opacities. Features vary with menstrual status. Recently, the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was reported for diagnosis of intrathoracic endometriosis, but most published reports were about pleurodiaphragmatic endometriosis. We present CT and MRI findings of bronchopulmonary endometriosis in the left lung that showed a gradually enlarging nodule with enhancing area.
胸内子宫内膜异位症分为胸膜膈肌子宫内膜异位症和支气管肺子宫内膜异位症。支气管肺子宫内膜异位症较为罕见。支气管肺子宫内膜异位症的计算机断层扫描（CT）表现为肺结节，有或无空洞，或周围磨玻璃样混浊。其特征随月经状态而异。最近，有报道称磁共振成像（MRI）对胸内子宫内膜异位症的诊断有用，但大多数已发表的报告是关于胸膜膈肌子宫内膜异位症的。我们展示了左肺支气管肺子宫内膜异位症的CT和MRI表现，其显示为一个逐渐增大的结节且有强化区域。
