“…The patients are often older than those with pelvic endometriosis only (25−35 years) [10].

Most surgical treatment is performed by thoracoscopy, and pleurodesis has been advocated to reduce recurrences [1,2,5,19−21].…”

“…Postoperative treatment with GnRH agonists or oral contraceptives similar to that for pelvic endometriosis can be administered for symptom relief and to reduce recurrences. This notion is based on the evidence from pelvic endometriosis as well as from our experience with catamenial pneumothorax [16].…”

This study aimed to better characterize the phenomenon of catamenial pneumothorax; evaluate the risk factors, symptoms, and diagnostic modalities; and recommend treatment protocol. Data Sources: We conducted an electronic-based search using PubMed, EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Methods of Study Selection: The following medical subject heading terms, keywords, and their combinations were used: "catamenial pneumothorax; thoracic endometriosis; pulmonary endometriosis; and pleural endometriosis." Tabulation, Integration, and Results: Individual study results were tabulated in each table by outcome of interest. The search produced an initial 404 results. We excluded studies that did not contain cases with catamenial pneumothorax, case studies, and videos. Eighteen studies met our inclusion criteria and were selected, with a total of 490 patients. The prevalence of catamenial pneumothorax of all cases of pneumothorax in women of reproductive age ranges from 7.3% to 36.7%. The diagnosis was made at an older age than that of pelvic endometriosis. The presence of pelvic endometriosis was reported in only 55% of patients with catamenial pneumothorax. Previous pelvic surgeries were mentioned in only a few of the studies, and 52 of 104 cases (50%) had some kind of previous pelvic intervention. Diagnosis was mostly made clinically, with the patients complaining of the typical symptoms of shortness of breath and recurrent chest pain or shoulder pain a day before to 72 hours after menses. Pneumothorax was found mainly in the right lung (456 of 490 cases, 93%). Diaphragmatic endometriosis and/or nodules were observed in 265 of 297 cases (89%). Recurrence rate varied from 14.3% to 55%. Conclusion:The possibility of endometriosis should be considered in reproductive-aged women with catamenial symptoms of chest pain or shortness of breath. Right pneumothorax and diaphragmatic endometriosis are found in most patients. Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology (2020) 27, 48−53.

“…72 The pathological diagnosis of TE can be challenging, because lesions are sometimes so small that glands may not be identified. 88 Positive histopathological confirmation has been reported to range from 57% to 87.5% 68,71,73,83,84,[89][90][91] . Furthermore, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish endometrial stroma and inflammatory cells by hematoxylin and eosin staining.…”

Endometriosis is defined as a condition in which endometrium-like tissues are present in organs other than the uterus. It has been reported that 5%-10% of women of reproductive age have endometriosis. 1-3 It is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, which causes pelvic pain and infertility. Endometriosis usually involves the ovaries, ligaments, and peritoneal surfaces, and less commonly occurs in the intestine, bladder, abdominal wall, thoracic cavity, and other organs. The etiology of endometriosis has remained mostly unknown, despite much literature and some predominant theories. The most widely accepted theory for the pathogenesis of endometriosis is retrograde menstruation through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity. 4 Once endometrial cells adhere to peritoneal surfaces, they can grow and invade onto peritoneal structures, under the influence

A 27-year-old female presented to the emergency department with sudden onset shortness of breath. A diagnosis of bilateral catamenial pneumothoraces was made following chest radiograph. Catamenial pneumothorax is a recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax that occurs in 90% of affected women 24-48 hours after the onset of their menstruation; 30-50% of cases have associated pelvic endometriosis. Symptoms can be as simple as chest pain or as severe as the presentation of this patient who was initially found to be in significant respiratory distress.
