Abstract

Abstract: Six percent to 10 percent women of childbearing age suffer from endometriosis. Endometriosis mostly locates on ovary, peritoneum, and other parts, and only 2% on chest. It is very rare to involve the lung parenchyma and lead to pulmonary endometriosis (PEM), which is easy to be misdiagnosed or missed. The paper reports a case of pulmonary endometriosis confirmed by imaging and follow-up due to hemoptysis, so as to increase clinicians' understanding of PEM.

Key words: Lung, Endometriosis, Clinical features, Imaging, Diagnosis and treatment

摘要： 6%～10%的育龄期妇女患有子宫内膜异位症，多见于卵巢、腹膜等部位，胸部仅有2%，而累及肺实质导致肺子宫内膜异位症（PEM）的极为少见，易误诊或漏诊。本文报告1例因咯血入院，经影像学及随访确定的PEM，增加临床医生对PEM的认识。
