title: Endometriosis.
abstract: Endometriosis occupies a unique position in medicine. The natural history of the disease is uncertain, its precise aetiology is unknown, the clinical presentation is inconsistent, and the treatment is poorly standardized. This review attempts to draw some conclusions from the growing number of publications devoted to the subject, and to provide guidelines for patient management.
