A unique case of retroperitoneal endometriosis causing deep vein thrombosis from extrinsic compression of the right iliac vein is described. Clinical presentation with cyclical leg swelling, coincidental with menstruation and culminating with deep vein thrombosis, although very suggestive, has not been previously reported.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
