The paper describes endometriosis as a chronic condition occurring mainly in reproductive years, defined as ectopic endometrial glandular and stromal tissue outside the uterine cavity that resembles eutopic endometrium histologically. It characterizes endometriotic tissue as invasively growing but non-neoplastic, noting that different macroscopic and microscopic forms have varying growth activity and disease significance. It states that the true prevalence remains unknown, but estimates that about 10% of women of reproductive age are affected, and the chapter’s major caveat is the continuing uncertainty around prevalence and classification. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on symptomatology and diagnosis through an overview of definitions, growth behavior, and forms, with prevalence estimates.

Zusammenfassung Die Endometriose ist eine chronische Erkrankung, die typischerweise während der reproduktiven Jahre auftritt und zu Rezidiven neigt. Definitionsgemäß handelt es sich um die Anwesenheit von endometrialem Drüsen- und Stromagewebe auß erhalb des Cavum uteri, welches histologisch Ähnlichkeit zu eutopem Endometrium aufweist. Das endometriotische Gewebe zeigt ein invasives aber nicht-neoplastisches Wachstumsmuster. Es existieren unterschiedliche makroskopische und mikroskopische Endometrioseformen mit unterschiedlicher Wachstumsaktivität und damit unterschiedlichem Krankheitswert. Obwohl die wahre Prävalenz der Endometriose weiterhin unbekannt bleibt, sind schätzungsweise 10% der Frauen im reproduktiven Alter betroffen. Preview Unable to display preview. Download preview PDF.
