RESUMO
Distant autoimplantation of endometrial implants presents with signs and symptoms specific to the affected site. The constellation of cyclical hemoptysis, pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, or cough in the right gynaecologic setting should raise concern for thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES). Although extra-pelvic implications of endometriosis are well known, TES is exceedingly rare. We present an unusual case of aggressive TES that re-emerged after a period of latency despite suppressive therapy, making the case for future studies to establish surveillance schedules and advanced therapies. As these implants become sizable, they require a combination of medical and surgical therapies often with psychological support. This case illustrates the importance of prompt diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to TES.
