This paper describes extragenital endometriosis sites—including parietal, appendiceal, pleuropulmonary, and diaphragmatic involvement—estimating these account for about 5% of endometriosis cases, and summarizes diagnosis and management based on the literature. It reports that parietal disease often necessitates large tumor resection, appendiceal disease is frequently seen with digestive endometriosis, and appendix induration/rigidity in deep infiltrating endometriosis supports appendectomy. For thoracic and diaphragmatic endometriosis, it highlights typical perimenstrual symptoms, with initial medical therapy aimed at therapeutic amenorrhea and surgery considered when symptoms recur. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reviews extran genital endometriosis locations and management strategies across multiple anatomical sites.

Diagnosis and management of these extra-genital localisations are described according to the literature. Parietal endometriosis usually requires large resection of the tumor. Appendiceal endometriosis is frequently observed in cases of digestive endometriosis. Induration or rigidity of the appendix due to the presence of deep infiltrating endometriosis justifies appendicectomy. Thoracic and diaphragmatic endometriosis is characterized by the presence of typical symptoms during the perimenstrual periode. Medical treatment obtaining therapeutic amenorrhea is firstly administered and surgery is indicated in cases of symptoms recurrence.
