Abstract

Endometriosis may b, defined as the growth of endometrium in situations other than the uterine cavity. The sites where these aberrant growths are most commonly found are the uterine wall, the ovaries, and the peritoneum of the pouch of Douglas. Cases are also recorded in which endometrial deposits were found in tissues remote from the genital tract, such as the bowel, the umbilicus, the bladder, and the ureters In the following case endometrial tissue was found in the visceral pleura, a finding which, so far as I know, has not been recorded previously.
