Abstract
Pulmonary endometriosis has been described as occurring in two forms: --bronchopulmonary with haemoptysis at the periods, --pleuropulmonary with pneumothorax at the periods. In 30-40% of cases it is associated with pelvic endometriosis. The pathways along which it can be disseminated are: --transdiaphragmatic peritoneal migration, --or metastatic migration through the veins and lymphatics. The treatment at present consists of hormone therapy together with surgery.
