Pulmonary endometriosis as a form of endometrial disease
This study analyzed the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary endometriosis in 11 female patients, finding that histological and immunohistochemical examination of lung biopsies was necessary for diagnosis due to insufficient clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings.

The paper describes the diagnostic and treatment experience for 11 women aged 16–61 with pulmonary endometriosis, focusing on the clinical, laboratory, and radiologic differential diagnosis of lung lesions. Across all cases, preoperative studies were insufficient to establish the diagnosis, so definitive verification of pulmonary endometriosis was achieved only after histologic and immunohistochemical examination of surgical material, illustrated with two additional case observations of patients aged 52 and 19. A stated limitation is that, because of the rarity and nonspecific presentations, diagnosis required invasive therapeutic-diagnostic operative interventions. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically pulmonary (thoracic) endometriosis as a form of endometrial disease and extragenital endometriosis.
