Visually normal pelvic peritoneum from patients with endometriosis showed a low prevalence of microscopic endometriosis upon serial section light microscopy.

Abstract

Defined criteria were used to select small samples of visually normal study peritoneum for serial section light microscopy in 45 patients with biopsy-proven endometriosis and 10 patients without endometriosis. A glandular element compatible with possible endometriosis was found in only 1 patient. Visually normal peritoneum does not harbor a high prevalence of invisible microscopic endometriosis.
