Abstract

A casuistic case has been presented with endometriosis of the lung in an 18-year-old girl. Several diagnostic difficulties including haemoptysis accompanying changes in the hings and chest, suggesting a npl process. The final diagnosis has been made after the second thoracotomy and was confirmed by the histopathological examination of the lungs and pleurae. Because of the patient's age the a-GnRH therapy was not taken and the treatment with new progestin (dienogest) was administered. The 4-months therapy have appeared to be fully positive without any side effects.
