Endometriosis is defined as the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity inducing a chronic inflammatory reaction [1]. It is a common condition affecting adult women, and the exact prevalence of which is unknown but estimated to range from 2 to 10% of the general female population and up to 50% of infertile women [2]. The prevalence of endometriosis in adolescents undergoing laparoscopy for pelvic pain was reported to be 47% [3]. Although some patients with endometriosis suffer from painful symptoms and/or infertility, others are asymptomatic. Diagnosis is made by physical examination, imaging techniques, and finally proved by histopathology.
