Abstract

Thoracic endometriosis syndrome, although rare, remains an underrecognized spectrum of diseases. It encompasses catamenial pneumothorax, hemothorax, hemoptysis, and pulmonary nodules. Diagnosis can be made when presentation of the above coincide with onset of menstruation; however, diagnosis can be delayed or missed without a high index of suspicion. Below, we report a case of recurrent catamenial pneumothorax and nodules as introduction to a review of thoracic endometriosis syndrome.
