The paper “Endometriosis of the diaphragm” (Russian Journal of Obstetrician-Gynecologist, 2025;25(6):24–28) focuses on diaphragmatic endometriosis, summarizing what is known about this uncommon manifestation of thoracic/thoracoabdominal endometriosis and its clinical features. It relies on a literature-based synthesis and cites prior work including observational series, diagnostic and management reviews, and case reports of thoracic endometriosis manifestations such as catamenial pneumothorax and diaphragmatic involvement. The main limitation is that, based on the provided text, it is not described as an original study with primary patient data, but rather as a publication centered on compiled evidence and recommendations. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on endometriosis involving the diaphragm.

Abstract

The article provides a review of the literature on the problem of endometriosis of the diaphragm. Endometriosis of the diaphragm is a rare disease characterized by the presence of functional endometrial tissue on the diaphragm. Almost 80% of patients with endometriosis of the diaphragm have concomitant endometriosis of the pelvic organs. In 70% of cases, the disease is asymptomatic, and most often the diagnosis of endometriosis of the diaphragm is made immediately during surgery for pelvic endometriosis. Objective — to analyze various approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with endometriosis of the diaphragm in order to create an algorithm for managing patients with this disease.
