Pelvic Endometriosis
Endometrium is found in ectopic sites outside the uterus, with locations including the rectum, colon, small intestine, urinary bladder, kidney, and pleura.

This chapter by Blaustein reviews the pathology of endometriosis, defining it as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue in various extrauterine sites. The text outlines the frequency of involvement across different anatomical locations and references historical theories regarding pathogenesis, such as Sampson’s implantation theory and Javert’s metastatic hypothesis. It also discusses clinical manifestations including obstructive lesions of the bowel and rare occurrences in distant sites like the pleura or limbs. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the pathological classification and historical understanding of pelvic endometriotic implants.
