Lesley, Check out this web site: http://www.morehead.org/wellconnected/000074.htm In the first paragraph or so it says something to the effect that endometriosis can exibit in several forms, one of which is an endometrioma. I do know that doctors will sometimes biopsy legions and cysts that they think are endometriosis to confirm that the tissue really is endometriosis. As far as a doctor goes...here is a web site you can use to try to find one. http://www.geocities.com/endovictims/endodocs.html Good luck to you, Alyson
