Abstract

This paper reports the case of a 41-years-old female patient with multifocal intrapulmonary endometriosis. In a CT-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy), this patient was diagnosed preoperatively with an adenocarcinoma. Intrapulmonary endometriosis is rare. Preoperative diagnosis of intrapulmonary endometriosis is difficult as image methods and fine needle aspiration biopsy suggest metastases. The most accepted theory regarding the etiology of pulmonary endometriosis concerns previous uterine surgery. There is not consensus about the most appropriate treatment in patients with multiple nodules.
