Abstract
Clinical experience based on gynecologic practice in Hawaii [USA] indicated a high incidence of endometriosis among Oriental women. A statistical analysis of gynecologic admissions and of diagnoses of endometriosis was performed on the basis of race at 3 hospitals, 2 in Hawaii and 1 in Japan. The result supported the impression that the Japanese female population has a high incidence of endometriosis. Approximately 10% of their gynecologic admissions were for endometriosis. The order of incidence in other racial groups was non-Japanese Oriental, white and black.
