This paper reviews the diagnostic challenges and case presentations of pulmonary parenchymal endometriosis.

This short report discusses pulmonary parenchymal endometriosis as a diagnostic challenge, focusing on how ectopic endometrial tissue in the lung can present in ways that mimic other acute or respiratory conditions. The paper’s high-level approach is case-based/clinical review style, emphasizing diagnostic uncertainty rather than a formal study population or experimental methods. A key finding is that parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis can be difficult to distinguish from non-endometriosis pathology without careful consideration, creating a “dilemma” for diagnosis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically pulmonary parenchymal endometriosis and its diagnostic misdirection.
