Other Problems Confused with Endometriosis
Adapted from "Recognition of Endometriosis" in
Laparoscopic Appearance of Endometriosis, Lecture Supplement

Other peritoneal lesions have been confused with endometriosis. These include epithelial inclusions, inflammatory lesions, adrenal rest tumor, reaction to oil base hysterosalpingogram dye, cul-de-sac
ectopic pregnancy,
metastatic
cancer,
peritoneal inclusions associated with positive chlamydia titers, carbon from previous laser surgery,
granulation tissue,
psammoma bodies (dystrophic calcification), old suture remnants, splenosis, Walthard Rests, ovarian cancer, inflammatory cystic inclusions, inflammation associated with psammoma bodies, and hemangiomas.
 Carbon
from previous laser surgery over scarred black lesion. The biopsy
histology is in the
Color Atlas of Endometriosis.
