Abstract

Revisar los casos de una entidad relativamente infrecuente como es la endometriosis extrapelviana y extragenital, diagnosticada y tratada en nuestro centro. De las 18 pacientes con diagnóstico histológico de endometriosis entre 1996 y 2002, encontramos una localización vesical (5,5%), 2 localizaciones cervicales (11,1%), una en el epiplón mayor (5,5%), 2 en la pared abdominal (11,1%), 3 en la vagina (16,5%), 3 en el perineo (16,5%), 3 umbilicales (16,5%) y otras 3 en el tubo digestivo (16,5%), de las cuales 2 afectaban al rectosigma. La endometriosis extrapelviana (cérvix, vagina, vulva, perineo) es rara, y las localizaciones extragenitales (intestinal, urinaria, umbilical, etc.) son aún más raras. Se han descrito lesiones endometriósicas en casi todos los órganos. To review the cases of extrapelvic and extragenital endometriosis, a relatively infrequent entity, diagnosed and treated in our center. Of 18 patients with a histological diagnosis of endometriosis from 1996 to 2002, endometriosis was located in the bladder in one patient (5.5%), the cervix in 2 (11.1%), the epiploon in one (5.5%), the abdominal wall in 2 (11.1%), the vagina in 3 (16.5%), the perineum in 3 (16.5%), the umbilicus in 3 (16.5%) and the intestinal tract in 3 patients (16.5%), of which 2 involved the rectosigmoid. Extrapelvic endometriosis (cervix, vagina, vulva and perineum) is uncommon and extragenital localizations (urinary, intestinal, abdominal wall, etc.) are highly infrequent. Endometriosis lesions have been described in almost all organs.
