This chapter defines endometriosis as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma in extrauterine, non-physiologic locations and notes its practical importance due to its frequency in the female population, including specific subpopulations such as sterile women. It emphasizes that one differentiating feature among endometriosis forms is their localization. The main limitation is that the provided text functions as a general overview without presenting specific study methods, original data, or explicit results beyond conceptual classification. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it provides a definition and overview framework for different forms based on lesion location.

Zusammenfassung Unter Endometriose versteht man das Vorkommen von endometrialen Drüsen und Stroma an unphysiologischen, d. h. extrauterinen Lokalisationen. Wegen ihrer Häufigkeit in der weiblichen Bevölkerung, insbesondere aber in Subpopulationen, beispielsweise sterilen Frauen, ist die Endometriose eine in der Praxis wichtige Erkrankung. Eine der Unterscheidungsmerkmale der verschiedenen Endometrioseformen ist die Lokalisation.
