Pleural endometriosis is a rare manifestation of endometriosis that usually presents with catamenial symptoms, with or without complications. Here, we present a case of incidentally discovered pleural involvement of endometriosis in an asymptomatic young female. Pleurocentesis revealed bloody exudative pleural effusion with lymphocytic predominance. Thoracoscopy revealed inflamed parietal pleura, and the biopsy confirmed endometriotic involvement.
胸膜子宫内膜异位症是子宫内膜异位症的一种罕见表现，通常伴有经期症状，可伴有或不伴有并发症。在此，我们报告一例在无症状年轻女性中偶然发现的胸膜子宫内膜异位症病例。胸腔穿刺抽出了以淋巴细胞为主的血性渗出性胸腔积液。胸腔镜检查发现壁层胸膜发炎，活检证实为子宫内膜异位症累及。
