Abstract
Thoracic endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like glands and stroma within the lung parenchyma or on the diaphragm and pleural surfaces. It remains unclear how endometrial tissue migrates into the thoracic cavity and produces pneumothorax. Currently proposed hypotheses include retrograde menstruation through diaphragmatic fenestrations, coelomic metaplasia, prostaglandin, hematogenous or lymphatic metastases. None of the theories proposed alone can elucidate all clinical manifestations of this condition, so the etiology of the development of thoracic endometriosis is likely to be multifactorial and closely intertwined with each other hypothesis.
