The paper describes endometriosis as the presence of functional, endometrium-like tissue (glands and stroma) occurring outside the uterine cavity, most often in the abdomen and especially the small pelvis. It characterizes endometriosis as an invasive but non-malignant growth process, with lesions commonly associated with fibrosis and adhesions that can cause affected organs to adhere. It reports epidemiologic estimates of prevalence (10–15% of premenopausal women), notes higher occurrence in the reproductive years (particularly 30–50 years), and highlights reported differences by ethnicity (more common in Asian women than Caucasian women) and by socioeconomic class. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it provides an overview definition, typical locations, pathological behavior, and prevalence of endometriosis.
