Yes...and yes....only case seen...sitting to dinner with a surgical resident during residency...he mentioned a referral heading in from an city about fifty miles up the road...hx of spontaneous pneomothorax and hemoptysis, third time, and happened during menses each time. I thought, naw, one only reads about such rare stuff in text book citations, but ... perhpas pulmonary endometriosis. Her images suggested a pulmonoary lesion and the patient went to surgical oncology...her pulmonary endometrisosis got discussed at surgical M&M

Pain is worse with deep inspiration and only occurs with menses. She has not been on hormonal contraceptives. Have any of you seen pleuritic endometriosis? Does anyone think a CT of the chest would help define her problem?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
