Abstract
Evidence that endometriosis results from the dislocation of basal endometrium? Dear Sir, I read with great interest the article by Leyendecker et al. (2002) addressing the hypothesis that endometriosis results from the dislocation of basal endometrium. The study represents an in-depth analysis of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone (PR) expression in eutopic and ectopic endometrium from women with and without adenomyosis and endometriosis. However, we disagree with the interpretation of the results.
