This case report describes a 36-year-old woman presenting with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax that coincided with the onset of her menstrual cycle, a clinical presentation indicative of thoracic endometriosis. Diagnostic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery identified and confirmed endometrial implants on the pleura through anatomopathological examination, establishing the diagnosis. The authors highlight that thoracic endometriosis is often subdiagnosed and emphasize the necessity of maintaining high clinical suspicion in fertile women with cyclic respiratory symptoms to facilitate early detection and appropriate management via hormonal therapy or surgical intervention. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the rare thoracic manifestation known as catamenial pneumothorax.
