This case report describes a 46-year-old woman with long-term air leakage in whom thoracic computed tomography showed right hemidiaphragm involvement and liver herniation, leading to surgical exploration. Intraoperatively, the authors observed a diaphragmatic defect with liver herniation due to diaphragmatic damage, and they primarily repaired the defect and reinforced it with prolene mesh; histopathology was consistent with endometriosis. The authors emphasize that endometriosis can be a rare cause of secondary pneumothorax and liver herniation that is difficult to diagnose early, and they report no postoperative complications, but the study is limited to a single case. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically diaphragmatic endometriosis causing catamenial pneumothorax and partial liver herniation.
