This case report describes a patient who presented with recurrent haemopneumothorax resulting from thoracic endometriosis. The condition was managed through a multidisciplinary approach involving surgical intervention via video thoracoscopy and subsequent hormonal therapy. The authors note that while optimal management remains controversial, this combined strategy appears to reduce recurrence rates in such rare presentations. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the thoracic manifestation known as thoracic endometriosis syndrome.

Abstract

Thoracic endometriosis is a rare disease but its actual frequency may be underestimated. Optimal management remains controversial. A multidisciplinary management approach, including surgery and hormone therapy, seems to give the best results and reduces recurrence. We report a case of a patient presenting with recurrent haemopneumothorax caused by thoracic endometriosis and treated surgically by video thoracoscopy and hormonal treatment.
