Pulmonary endometriosis in pregnancy.
A case of parenchymal pulmonary endometriosis, a very rare gynecologic problem, is presented. Hormonal suppressive therapy was accomplished by pregnancy. This patient has remained free of symptoms as she has been breast-feeding and amenorrheic. Long-term follow-up is essential because of the high recurrence rate.
