“…Although DWI has been applied in the study of pelvic endometriosis, there have as yet been no significant results. (1,10) However, our findings demonstrate that DWI might be useful for the detection of small endometriomas in pleural endometriosis.…”

“…On MRI scans of the chest, T1-and T2-weighted sequences showed right hydropneumothorax with 799 T2-weighted images, without diffusion restriction. As in pelvic endometriosis, (1,10) pleural nodules of thoracic endometriosis might show different signal intensity on T1-and T2-weighted images, intensity on fat-suppressed T1-weighted images and restricted diffusion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). In Case 2, the nodules showed heterogeneous signal intensity on T1-and The pleural effusion has signal intensity similar to that of muscle, suggesting a high protein content related to hemorrhagic products.…”

“…(12) The MRI signal of hemorrhagic tissues depends on the chemical state of iron atoms in the hemoglobin molecules and on the integrity of erythrocyte membranes. (10) Iron can be diamagnetic or paramagnetic, depending on the state of its outer electron orbitals. Paramagnetic iron alters T1 and T2 relaxation times of water protons through magnetic dipole-dipole interactions and susceptibility effects.…”

Endometriose pleural: achados na ressonância magnética

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disorder associated with pelvic pain and infertility, primarily affecting women of reproductive age. Thoracic endometriosis affects the pulmonary parenchyma or pleura. We report the cases of two patients with pleural endometriosis who presented with recurrent pneumothorax. In both cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest showed right hydropneumothorax and well-defined, rounded nodules on the pleural surface in the right hemithorax. We conclude that MRI is a good option for the characterization of pleural endometriotic nodules and hemorrhagic pleural effusion.Keywords: Endometriosis; Magnetic resonance imaging; Pneumothorax.

A endometriose torácica afeta o parênquima pulmonar ou a pleura. Relatamos os casos de duas pacientes com endometriose pleural que apresentaram pneumotórax recorrente. Em ambos os casos, a ressonância magnética de tórax mostrou hidropneumotórax à direita e nódulos redondos, bem definidos, na superfície pleural à direita. A ressonância magnética é uma boa opção para a caracterização dos nódulos de endometriose pleural e de derrame pleural hemorrágico.Descritores: Endometriose; Imagem por ressonância magnética; Pneumotórax.* Study carried out in the

Diagnosis and Treatment of Bladder Endometriosis: State of the Art

et al. 2012

Background: The bladder is the most common affected site in urinary tract endometriosis, being diagnosed during gynecologic follow-up. The surgical urological treatment might lead to good results. Study Objective: To define the state of the art in the diagnosis and treatment of bladder endometriosis. Methods: We performed a literature review by searching the MEDLINE database for articles published between 1996 and 2011, limiting the searches to the words: urinary tract endometriosis, bladderendometriosis, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.Results: Deep pelvic endometriosis usually involves the urinary system, with the bladder being affected in 85% of cases. The diagnosis has to be considered as a step-by-step procedure. Currently, the treatment is usually surgical, consisting of either transurethral resection or partial cystectomy, and eventually associated with hormonal therapy. The hormonal therapy alone counteracts only the stimulus of endometriotic tissue proliferation, with no effects on the scarring caused by this tissue. The overall recurrence rate is about 30% for combined therapies and about 35% for the hormonal treatment alone. Conclusions: The bladder is the most common affected site in urinary tract endometriosis. Most of the time, this condition is diagnosed because of the complaint of urinary symptoms during gynecologic follow-up procedures for a deep pelvic endometriosis: a close collaboration between the gynecologist and the urologist is advisable, especially in highly specialized centers. The surgical urological treatment might lead to good results in terms of patients’ compliance and prognosis.
