Catamenial Hemoptysis Due to Bronchial Endometriosis

Abstract
ECTOPIC endometrial tissue has been reported in many locations, close to and distant from the pelvis. These have included lymph nodes (pelvic, iliac, mesenteric and inguinal), tissues close to the uterus (bladder, ureter, wall of small and large bowel, appendix, perineum, umbilicus and rectovaginal septum), operative scars and loci rather farther removed (kidney, arm — that is, the brachioradialis muscle — and leg). In addition there have been 3 reports of pleural location, 2 involving the pleural space alone1 2 3 and 1 with diffuse abdominal endometriosis4 involving the right side of the diaphragm, with a communication between the peritoneal and right . . .
