Die extragenitale Endometriose

The paper reports nine cases of extragenital endometriosis observed between 1959 and 1971, including scar endometriosis (n=3), abdominal wall and umbilical endometriosis (n=2), intestinal endometriosis (n=3), and lung endometriosis (n=1). It describes that the intestinal presentations require surgical treatment due to complications and because malignancy cannot be reliably excluded. A key stated limitation is that diagnosis must be secured histologically, implying that clinical differentiation alone is insufficient. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically extragenital endometriosis across multiple anatomical sites and associated differential diagnosis and surgical considerations, with focus on intestinal and malignancy exclusion challenges.
