This study analyzed 40 adolescent endometriosis cases, distinguishing obstructive anomaly-associated endometriosis that can regress post-surgery from later-onset, often atypical endometriosis associated with pelvic pain or dysmenorrhea.

Abstract

The particularities of endometriosis were analyzed based upon a series of 40 cases of adolescents aged 11 to 19 years. It was possible to distinguish two entities: 1) endometriosis associated with an obstructive genital anomaly sometimes found in young patients, for which the severity depends upon the delay in establish the diagnosis; these lesions may regress spontaneously, sometimes completely, when the anomaly has been surgically treated; and 2) endometriosis of adolescents aged 17 years or older, noted mainly in the case of chronic pelvic pain or severe dysmenorrhea. Lesions are usually mild and are frequently atypical; they are potentially recurrent, but the possible consequences on subsequent fertility need to be studied further.
