Abstract
Thoracic endometriosis is an uncommon disorder. In most cases, the diagnosis is based on history alone and radiographic findings depend on the menstrual cycle. CT findings include ill-defined or well-defined opacities, nodular lesions, cavities, cystic changes and bullous formation. We report a case of pulmonary parenchymal endometriosis with an unusual radiographic finding.
