Resection of intra-pulmonary endometriosis by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery under pre-operative CT-guided marking synchronized with menstrual cycle
This case report details the successful video-assisted thoracoscopic resection of intrapulmonary endometriosis using CT-guided marking synchronized with the patient's menstrual cycle.

This paper reports a 37-year-old woman with repeated catamenial hemoptysis in whom CT showed a ground-glass opacity lesion in the right upper lung lobe suspected to represent intra-pulmonary endometriosis. Surgery was scheduled to coincide with her menstrual cycle, and the pulmonary lesion was localized using pre-operative CT-guided marking followed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery; the pleura near the marking showed yellowish change and the lesion was resected. Histopathology identified endometrial glands and intimal interstitium, and she had no symptoms 2.5 years after surgery, with the main limitation being that this is a single-patient case report. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically the diagnosis and surgical resection of intra-pulmonary endometriosis using CT-guided marking synchronized to the menstrual cycle.
