This case-based chapter in Office Gynecology describes the evaluation of a 32-year-old woman who has a 3 cm endometrioma and infertility, presented within an infertility-focused section of the book. The authors use a clinical narrative approach, outlining how such a patient is assessed in an office setting at a high level and tying the scenario to broader infertility workup considerations. A key limitation is that, as a case report/chapter rather than original research, it does not provide analytic outcomes, effect sizes, or generalizable evidence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically a clinical case of a 3 cm endometrioma in a woman with infertility.
