CT and MRI findings of bronchopulmonary endometriosis: a case presentation

Intrathoracic endometriosis is classified into pleurodiaphragmatic endometriosis and bronchopulmonary endometriosis. Bronchopulmonary endometriosis is rare. Computed tomography (CT) findings of bronchopulmonary endometriosis are lung nodules, with or without cavities, or surrounding ground-glass opa...

description Intrathoracic endometriosis is classified into pleurodiaphragmatic endometriosis and bronchopulmonary endometriosis. Bronchopulmonary endometriosis is rare. Computed tomography (CT) findings of bronchopulmonary endometriosis are lung nodules, with or without cavities, or surrounding ground-glass opacities. Features vary with menstrual status. Recently, the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was reported for diagnosis of intrathoracic endometriosis, but most published reports were about pleurodiaphragmatic endometriosis. We present CT and MRI findings of bronchopulmonary endometriosis in the left lung that showed a gradually enlarging nodule with enhancing area.
