Thoracic endometriosis (TE) is a rare disorder affecting women during their reproductive years. Manifestations of TE include pneumothorax and haemothorax. Treatment is based on surgical and hormonal therapy that aims at eradicating existing endometrial thoracic plaques and to prevent reseeding from pelvic endometriosis.We report the case of a 36 year-old young woman presenting thoracic endometriosis revealed by a recurring spontaneous, large and isolated right haemothorax. Diagnosis, pathogeny and treatment are discussed.Thoracic endometriosis needs to be considered as a cause of haemothorax in women of childbearing age. |
