[Thoracic endometriosis--the rare pathology in thoracic surgery].
This paper presents two cases of thoracic endometriosis, one with a posterior mediastinum tumor and the other with recurrent catamenial pneumothorax, highlighting its rare occurrence and diagnostic challenges.

This article reports two cases of thoracic hematogenic endometriosis diagnosed via histological study in female patients treated at a thoracic surgery department. The first patient presented with an asymptomatic posterior mediastinum tumor, while the second experienced recurrent catamenial pneumothorax. The authors note that the condition lacks pathognomonic symptoms, making definitive diagnosis reliant on histological confirmation rather than clinical presentation alone. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the rare manifestation of thoracic endometriosis involving both mediastinal tumors and catamenial pneumothorax.
