Atypical Sites of Deeply Infiltrative Endometriosis: Clinical Characteristics and Imaging Findings

It is a polymorphic and multifocal disease with no known cure or preventive mechanisms. Patients may be asymptomatic or may experience chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, or infertility.

“…Based on the results of preoperative anamnesis, physical examination and ultrasound imaging, EE was diagnosed correctly in more than twothirds of our patients. Suture granulomas, abscesses, hernia, hematomas and desmoid tumours should be considered in the differential diagnosis, and additional imaging methods should be carried out in certain cases (2) .
