Occult retrocervical endometriosis. A case report.

BACKGROUND

The retrocervical area of the pelvis is a particularly strategic location for dyspareunia-producing endometriotic lesions. Because this area is often hidden from view by the cervical bulge, it is necessary that close attention be paid to locating occult disease.

CASE

A 35-year-old, white female underwent repeat laparoscopy for persistent dyspareunia. Occult retrocervical disease was found and exercised.

CONCLUSION

Incomplete treatment may result if this area is not examined and biopsied.
