This paper describes four cases of parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis, proposing progesterone as a first-line treatment and suggesting the condition may be underdiagnosed and is relatively harmless.

The paper discusses parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis, focusing on endometrial tissue located within lung parenchyma rather than on the pleura or airways. It describes the clinical and pathological features that characterize this rare manifestation and places it in the broader context of thoracic endometriosis presentations, including catamenial symptoms. The main limitation is that the condition is uncommon, so the evidence base is necessarily constrained to case-based or observational descriptions rather than larger studies. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis.

Abstract

Parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis is an extremely rare but well described condition. We present four new cases, and discuss the examination and treatment of these patients. We conclude that the condition may be underdiagnozed, and that it is a relatively harmless disorder. We propose treatment with progesterone as the first choice of treatment. None of our patients needed surgical treatment.
