The paper is an iconographic essay describing ultrasound findings of endometriosis, focusing on both common presentations and atypical aspects. It reviews the role of imaging methods—particularly transvaginal ultrasound (after bowel preparation) and MRI—highlighting that while MRI is considered the best diagnostic test, transvaginal ultrasound is fundamental for detecting lesions in sites such as the uterine torus, ovaries, and the pouch of Douglas. Using a standard ultrasound apparatus and appropriate patient preparation, the authors present selected ultrasound findings for different endometriosis presentations, with the main limitation being its descriptive, illustrative design rather than a controlled diagnostic study. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it presents ultrasonographic findings of typical and atypical endometriosis presentations.
