"Post-implantation of endometrial tissue there is extensive decidual adhesions and distortion of tissue, which leads to the classical catamenial pain and haemoptysis 2."
"Endometriosis is the presence of functioning endometrial tissue in extrauterine locations. It is most often confined to the pelvis; however, extrapelvic sites like the umbilicus, scar sites in the abdomen, breasts, extremities and thorax may also be involved. In the thorax, the sites to be involved are the pleura, parenchyma, airways and the diaphragm 1."

"Chest CT is the modality of choice for thoracic endometriosis, which may demonstrate presence of pneumothorax, haemothorax or nodules which may change in nature cyclically. There may sometimes be vague areas of bronchial wall thickening, thin-walled cavities, bullous formation or ground glass opacities. CT may also be used to provide guidance for targeted biopsy. Imaging should be carried out during menstruation for higher sensitivity."
"There is a predilection for right-sided involvement in case of pleural endometriosis, however in parenchymal involvement there is no such predilection seen."
