The paper reviews the apparent mismatch between the high incidence of endometriosis and the limited, sometimes contradictory, knowledge about its pathogenesis, focusing on experimental evidence for stem cell populations in endometriotic lesions and in eutopic endometrium. It discusses possible stem cell origins (residential cells versus pluripotent bone-marrow stem cells disseminated via hematogenous spread), their differentiation potential, and how limited self-renewal capacity of somatic stem cells could relate to reduced cyclic regenerative ability of lesions. A caveat is that many lesion characteristics remain unclear or inconsistent, limiting definitive conclusions from current evidence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it synthesizes stem cell theories (including lesion stem cells, their origin, differentiation, and self-renewal limits) to explain pathogenesis.
