This case report describes an unusual presentation of endometriosis causing massive ascites and pleural effusions, confirmed laparoscopically.

This paper reports a single case describing an unusual presentation of endometriosis in a woman of childbearing age, with massive ascites and pleural effusions that were subsequently confirmed by laparoscopy. The authors characterize the clinical scenario as involving cystic pelvic masses and emphasize that this pattern should be considered in the appropriate historical and demographic context. A key limitation is that the evidence is limited to a case report, so broader generalizability is not established. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically documents endometriosis presenting with massive ascites and pleural effusions confirmed at laparoscopy.
