Extragenitale Endometriose als seltene Ursache eines katamenial-rezidivierenden Spontanpneumothorax
This paper highlights pulmonary endometriosis as a rare cause of catamenial recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax, noting that these cycle-dependent bleeding events are often not recognized as being associated with the condition.

This case report describes a 45-year-old woman who experienced three recurrent spontaneous pneumothoraces over several years, which were ultimately linked to her menstrual cycle. Diagnostic imaging, including CT and MRI, revealed endometriosis-like lesions in the right lung lobe alongside pelvic findings of an endometrioma and adenomyosis uteri. The patient was treated with GnRH agonists rather than surgery due to the extragenital involvement, resulting in complete symptom resolution for at least one year. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically thoracic endometriosis syndrome presenting as catamenial pneumothorax, while also noting concurrent adenomyosis uteri.
