We collected the most illustrative cases of both pelvic and extra pelvic involvement from the department of radiology of the Rabta teaching hospital, Tunis.\nFindings and procedure details\nEndometriosis is a chronic disease that is caused by the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus, presenting in different forms based on the involved organs :-superficial endometriosisincluding peritoneal wall and superficial ovarian implants.- deep pelvic endometriosisinfiltrating the rectal wall, the urinary tract, the pelvic wall and the bowel,etc..-extra-pelvic endometriosisincluding parietal and thoracic involvement.Due to the complexity and the multifocality of the disease, a standardised MRI protocol is a must for an accurate assessment of the lesions. Establishing a systematic protocol ensures consistency in...\nConclusion\nMRI is the imaging modality of choice for the mapping of pelvic and extra-pelvic endometriosic involvement, and should therefore be well performed and thouroughly examined, especially prior to surgical interventions.\nPersonal information and conflict of interest\nA.
