Abstract
A study was conducted to determine if the increased recognition of various forms of endometriosis might have increased the ability to correlate focal tenderness with lesions. The prospective study of 82 patients revealed a strong correlation between focal tenderness on examination with the presence of deep fibrotic endometriosis and other fibrotic pathology. The data suggested that focal tenderness and depth of infiltration may direct further study in women with endometriosis.
