Entstehung und Pathogenese
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease characterized by endometrial-like tissue found outside the uterine cavity, requiring a stromal component for hormone responsiveness.

This paper discusses the concept and pathogenesis of endometriosis, defining it as estrogen-dependent, benign endometrium-like tissue found outside the uterine cavity, and emphasizing that a stromal component is a key prerequisite for hormonal responsiveness. It frames endometriosis as an ectopic manifestation derived from endometrial tissue rather than a disorder of endometrium confined to the uterus. A limitation is that the provided text is largely definitional and mechanistic in overview, without describing specific empirical study methods or data from a study population. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses on the origin and pathogenesis, including ectopic endometrial tissue and estrogen-dependent hormonal responsiveness requiring stromal components.
