Subperitoneal pelvic endometriosis, affecting 10% of women and most commonly found in the rectovaginal septum, presents with variable pain, and diagnosis relies on clinical exam and imaging.

The paper describes pelvic endometriosis tumorous under the peritoneum (EPTSP), reporting a prevalence of 10% and identifying the rectovaginal septum as the most frequent location, with pain symptoms that are not always present. It links the prevalence and intensity of pain to the depth of infiltration of the sub-peritoneal space and notes that clinical examination is preferably performed during menstruation, when it usually helps suggest the diagnosis. For imaging, it states that MRI has excellent specificity for lesions in the rectovaginal septum and uterosacral locations, but performs worse for rectal infiltration and is not validated for urinary localizations, while anorectal endoscopic ultrasound has excellent specificity for digestive involvement; the main limitation is the variable/uncertain diagnostic validation across compartments. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it focuses specifically on the under-peritoneal tumorous form of pelvic endometriosis (EPTSP), including symptom patterns and imaging/assessment performance, and does not primarily address adenomyosis.

Résumé La prévalence de l’endométriose pelvienne tumorale sous péritonéale (EPTSP) est de 10 %. La localisation la plus fréquente intéresse la cloison recto-vaginale. La symptomatologie douloureuse n’est pas constante. Sa prévalence et son intensité sont probablement liées à la profondeur de l’infiltration de l’espace sous-péritonéal. L’examen clinique doit être réalisé de préférence pendant les règles et permet d’évoquer habituellement le diagnostic. La spécificité de l’IRM est excellente pour les localisations sur la cloison recto-vaginale et les utérosacrés. Elle est moins bonne en cas d’infiltration rectale et non encore validée pour les localisations urinaires. L’échoendosonographie anorectale a une excellente spécificité en cas d’atteinte digestive. Le traitement habituellement chirurgical et multidisciplinaire est guidé par le bilan paraclinique. Preview Unable to display preview. Download preview PDF.
