This case report describes a 31-year-old woman presenting with primary infertility and a history of six recurrent spontaneous pneumothoraces occurring exclusively during menstruation. Diagnostic laparoscopy confirmed internal genital endometriosis in the rectouterine pouch, bladder fold, and uterosacral ligaments, while pleural endometriosis was suspected but not histologically verified despite treatment-induced amenorrhea preventing further episodes. The authors propose that lymphatic or vascular metastasis explains the extragenital lesions and emphasize maintaining suspicion for thoracic endometriosis in patients with catamenial pneumothorax even without definitive tissue diagnosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the rare presentation of extragenital endometriosis causing catamenial pneumothorax alongside concurrent pelvic disease.
