Abstract :
Endometriosis affects about 10% of women of reproductive age. Its main feature is the presence of stroma
and endometrial glands in sites other than the uterus, mainly in pelvis. Pelvic peritoneum, ovaries, uterine
ligaments, bladder, intestines, andcul-de-sac are among the affected areas. Sometimes endometriosis can be
found outside of the pelvis and even above abdominal cavity, like indiaphragm.Herein, we present a case of
an asymptomatic diaphragmatic endometriosis that was discovered incidentally during laparoscopy of pelvic
endometriosis, as well as our appropriately proposed treatment protocol.
