This paper describes extragenital endometriosis sites—including parietal, appendiceal, pleuropulmonary, and diaphragmatic involvement—estimating these account for about 5% of endometriosis cases, and summarizes diagnosis and management based on the literature. It reports that parietal disease often necessitates large tumor resection, appendiceal disease is frequently seen with digestive endometriosis, and appendix induration/rigidity in deep infiltrating endometriosis supports appendectomy. For thoracic and diaphragmatic endometriosis, it highlights typical perimenstrual symptoms, with initial medical therapy aimed at therapeutic amenorrhea and surgery considered when symptoms recur. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews extran genital endometriosis locations and management strategies across multiple anatomical sites.
