Bilateral Ovarian Endometriomas: A Case Report.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition in women of reproductive age with a prevalence of approximately 10%.1 It is defined by the presence of endometrial-type tissue outside the uterine cavity. Clinical presentation of endometriosis may be heterogeneous and unspecific. Common symptoms or consequences of endometriosis are dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, pelvic pain, and infertility. However, some patients may also be asymptomatic. Commonly, endometriosis manifests within the female pelvis. Nevertheless, extra-abdominal endometrial lesions rarely occur. The ectopic endometrial implants may induce inflammatory processes, causing scar tissue formation, adhesions, and consequently pelvic anatomy distortion.2 A common site of endometriotic involvement is the ovaries. In this context, we present a case of a 23-year-old nulliparous woman without any known pre-existing condition but recurrent pelvic pain.
