I'm not a doctor, but i try to explain what I can read.
This is not a rare endometriosis histologie -it is a description - of the age and degree of it.
If you want to find out a bit more there is a site in endo.... ( I look it up, and post it later)Sorry I lost the addres. But I'll be back in a minute.

If the endometriomas are removed- it is fine. So there is no worry of them any more.
Best of luck Sybille
