This paper is a case report describing a rare endometriosis presentation characterized by recurrent massive hemorrhagic ascites that could be mistaken for other pathological conditions such as malignancy. The authors outline that, because the symptom pattern may mislead clinical interpretation and management, confirming the cause requires invasive evaluation with laparoscopy or laparotomy followed by biopsy. The key finding is that endometriosis can, though rarely, produce recurrent, large-volume blood-containing ascites. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically a case of recurrent massive hemorrhagic ascites that can mislead diagnostic thinking.
