This paper reports a case of a 28-year-old patient with extensive external endometriosis who experienced spontaneous pneumothorax three times, each episode occurring at the start of menstruation. It summarizes proposed etiologic hypotheses for catamenial pneumothorax and reviews the therapeutic options discussed in the literature. As a caveat, the paper is based on a rare case entity with only 65 reported patients to date, limiting generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it describes catamenial (menstruation-associated) recurrent pneumothorax in a patient with extensive endometriosis externa and reviews its connection to the condition.
