This medical image report describes thoracic endometriosis presenting with bilateral hydropneumothorax, evaluated in a clinical setting with corresponding diagnostic workup. The case illustrates imaging and clinical features of an uncommon presentation of endometriosis involving the thorax. The main limitation is that, as a medical image/case report, it provides only descriptive evidence from a single patient and does not establish broader generalizability. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically reports thoracic endometriosis presenting with bilateral hydropneumothorax, directly relating to endometriosis-related extra-pelvic disease.
