Abstract
The histopathology of spontaneous endometriosis was studied on 20 pelvic implants biopsied at laparoscopy in 15 healthy baboons. Endometriosis was confirmed by histopathology in 10 of these animals (66%). Typical (n = 3) and subtle (n = 13) endometriotic lesions were confirmed by histopathology in 100 and 61%, respectively. Suspected disease-bearing lesions (n = 4) were confirmed in 50%. Implants could be classified as active (n = 5), inactive (n = 3), atrophic (n = 2) or stromal endometriosis (n = 3). The histological findings for typical and subtle implants were similar to those reported in humans.
