Abstract
The presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterus, typically in the pelvis, is known as endometriosis. An adolescent with this diagnosis usually presents with chronic pelvic pain, and she and her family are anxious for an explanation of her symptoms. Traditionally, endometriosis had been thought to occur only rarely in adolescence, but with an increasing awareness of the disease among the medical community, it is being diagnosed more frequently. An outline of the disease and the issues surrounding its diagnosis and management in adolescents is the focus of this article.
